Unleash Your Creativity: Compressed Earth Workshop

A hands-On Workshop

Join us for a hands-on candle holder workshop using a unique compressed earth technique in collaboration with Earthstone, designed for beginners and curious minds alike.

The 1.5-hour session unfolds in two parts: a short theoretical introduction to this unique practice and the Belgian soils — how to recognize them and understand their properties — followed by a practical session in which each participant will craft two candle holders.

Earthstone, Damian Jodorowsky and Timoté Rouffignac, is a duo of artists and industrial designers based in Brussels. The essence of their work lies in the use of a singular material, developed specifically for this project, which combines the raw materiality of earth with the durability of stone. By sourcing materials from urban excavation sites, they promote a local and accessible approach to object production. Through the combination of contemporary industrial processes and craftsmanship, they create objects that are both ecological and circular.

Spaces are limited — an intimate gathering for those who value the luxury of slow time, thoughtful conversation, and the timeless beauty of handmade creation.

Damian Jodorowsky - EARTHSTONE

Damian Jodorowsky was born in Chile in 1993. He currently lives and works between Paris and Brussels. He holds a Master’s degree in Industrial Design from La Cambre, where he studied under the supervision of Giampiero Pitisci. His practice is multidisciplinary, situated at the intersection of design, art, and scenography. In 2019, he worked as an assistant in the studio of artist Ivan Navarro in New York. Building on this experience, he co-founded the non-profit organization Gilbard, a material reuse hub based in Anderlecht, where he is responsible for the design department. There, he develops projects focused on material reuse and the implementation of alternative production systems. Since then, he has been working between Paris and Brussels as a head painter and set designer on film and advertising productions. In parallel, and continuing the research initiated during his master’s studies, he founded Earthstone in 2021—a project centered on the reuse of excavated soils, exploring forms that exist between serial production and craftsmanship, design and art.
