MUD 2-C10
Output
Material sample tile is made with mud-like sewage sludge from the ceramic department of the Fine Art University Belas Artes in Porto mixed with atomized stoneware GM by MOTA Ceramic Solutions.
Starting with the raw material "mud" various recipes were developed involving different percentages of sewage sludge, ranging from 0% to 100% reuse.
This tile is part of the MUD MATTERS project for Porto Design Biennale 2023.
