While working at The Cass, Vanja designed and curated the exhibition together with The Head of School of Design leading a team of projects assistants.
“As part of the The Aram gallery’s ongoing interest in process, The Cass: Hands On was showing new and experimental design at the roots, using this versatile school and its history as the focus. “
We showcased a range of students, alumni and staff presenting the wide variety of courses on offer, including jewellery, silversmithing, furniture, upholstery and musical-instrument making. Alongside finished products, the exhibition also reflected the Cass’s dedication to making within its teaching philosophy. A display of hand tools and a wall of experimental ceramic studies gave a taste of the school’s workshop atmosphere.
