Personal reflection:
This project was fascinating, I had never had the opportunity to meet artists, artisans and experts in the knowledge of traditional crafts who worked in a group with me. This project kept me in constant expectation and uncertainty because I am used to immediacy but in this case I had to understand and know how to wait in a process where the results take time.
It was a therapy to be able to work 100% sketching and designing by hand, I feel that this gives other features to the project and releases certain ideas that do not come out when we are in front of a screen.
From this project I take away:
- An awareness of knowledge in terms of traditional crafts, since with the understanding of the technique, functional proposals can be made.
- An exercise in graphic synthesis, from the complex to the simple, from the detailed to the minimalist, from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional. Which is a bit difficult for me since I come from exercises and design projects full of detail.
- Working in a short-time workshop allows you to learn to make quick decisions.
- I feel that I have solid bases of graphic composition and that applies to everything, in this case it does not matter if it is a set of dishes if you know how to play with visual rhythm, the project is harmonious.

- What an immense pleasure to work with people who have such a developed visual and spatial memory, practice makes perfect and without a doubt I believe that as designers of a digital age we need more practice in physical reality.
