Hanna Fastrich (*Munich) is an interdisciplinary artist and maker based in London. She studied Architecture at the Architectural Association and continued her studies in Applied Arts (Ceramics & Glass) at the Royal College of Art. Since being educated and working in the field of architecture, she has been expanding her creative work through craftsmanship, namely ceramics, traditional Japanese woodworking and metal work in her studio.
Hanna is exploring the navigation across the boundaries of object and space as well as what it means to make something that sits in between artistic and tangible function, questioning in what way can sculptural object be engaged with or used, therefore also become spatial agents?
