Hanna Fastrich (*Munich, 1999) is an interdisciplinary maker based in Munich and 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 in the field of architecture, she has been expanding her creative work through craftsmanship, namely ceramics, Japanese woodworking and metal work.
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. In what way can sculptural objects be engaged with or used, therefore also become spatial agents?
