This summer held a unique chance to discover what's happening on the young Danish crafts scene in 2013 when this year's graduates from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Design, Bornholm invited visitors to view this year's graduation projects at Bornholm Art Museum on 22 June.
In June of 2013 visitors had the chance to gain an insight into how Scandinavian glass and ceramic design is expressed in Denmark in the year 2013. By this summer the two graduating classes from the glass and ceramics specialities at the School of Design, Bornholm had completed three years of studies. In honor of this they exhibited the results in the EXIT exhibition at Bornholm Art Museum from June until the end of August when the exhibition travelled to places including Designer Zoo in Copenhagen and subsequently, Skagen Odde Nature Centre.
This year's graduation projects show sensuous designs of body parts, sculptural stories and glass and ceramics that surprise due to their design and fine details. The final expression shows great variety and scope, spanning from everyday utility products to more experimental works. All of a high quality.
The graduation projects are the result of three years' dialogue between materials, techniques and very personal expressions. The materials, the experiments and the techniques have been thoroughly challenged in the reflective process, as have the students themselves.
At the exhibition, the graduates generously shared the knowledge and competences they have acquired, and the EXIT exhibition provided a good insight into how students work with Scandinavian design and crafts at the School of Design's crafts programme on Bornholm.
