SUSTENTABILIDADE: UMA PROPOSTA DE POSSIBILIDADES ESTÉTICAS E FUNCIONAIS ENTRE AS LINGUAGENS DO DESIGN E DA CERÂMICA 1 SUSTAINABILITY: A PROPOSAL FOR ESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONAL POSSIBILITIES BETWEEN THE LANGUAGES OF DESIGN AND CERAMICS

This article is the result of a research project developed in the Laboratory of Ceramic at the Design Course at Franciscan University. A study involving sustainability issues through the analysis of alternative materials (paper, sawdust and rice husk) mixed with ceramic mass, as well as the adding of other raw materials (metal, wood, stone and natural fibers) in the preparation of decorative and utilitarian objects. It is an experiment that sought to combine the esthetics of ceramics to the assumptions of Design in the development and shaping of handmade artifacts. The objects/products were presented to the public at an exhibition in the university showroom of UNIFRA Campus III.
