In the context of the Tidal Zone Experiences exhibition at Pilar (April 20 until May 25), the Atlas of Ovens invites Jean-François Paquay, a specialist in ceramics and ash glazing, to explore the potential of using algae for sustainable glazing. On May 10 they set up the fire on the campus to go through the full process of algae to ashes, ashes to glazes. They invited anthropologists, historians, ceramicists, archeologists, scientists, engineers and anyone who is interested in algae or in making fire to pass by and discover and exchange their expertise.
