Este taller propone una aproximación práctica y experimental al diseño y la construcción de mobiliario a partir de sistemas de ensamblaje reversibles. Partiendo del proyecto ***Under Pressure***, exploraremos nuevas formas de construir desde lo disponible, poniendo el foco en las uniones más que en los materiales. ***Under Pressure*** surge como un sistema de ensamblaje que emplea exclusivamente materiales reciclados, unidos mediante conexiones mecánicas basadas en presión. Sin perforaciones, adhesivos ni procesos irreversibles, las piezas se sostienen a través de cables tensados. Este enfoque permite adaptarse a diferentes geometrías y responde a principios de *Design for Disassembly*: accesibilidad, desmontaje sencillo y recuperación total de los componentes. Durante el taller, trasladaremos estos principios a un contexto colectivo. Utilizaremos materiales de desecho procedentes de La Clandestina y su entorno para diseñar y construir piezas mediante sistemas de cables tensores. Cada grupo desarrollará una pieza funcional que podrá integrarse en el espacio de La Clandestina o, si se prefiere, ser llevada por sus autores. Más que un resultado cerrado, el taller propone una forma de hacer: construir desde lo disponible, ensamblar sin comprometer los materiales y entender el diseño como un proceso abierto, adaptable y reversible. *** ## Qué te llevarás * Introducción a sistemas de ensamblaje reversibles * Aprendizaje práctico con materiales reciclados * Nuevas herramientas para pensar el diseño desde la sostenibilidad y la adaptabilidad *** ## Imparte ***[Vicent Orts](https://www.instagram.com/vicent_orts/)*** es un diseñador industrial con sede en Valencia. Su práctica se sitúa entre el diseño de producto, los interiores y los sistemas espaciales de pequeña escala, con un interés constante en los recursos preexistentes y en la temporalidad de los materiales. A través de su trabajo investiga cómo los objetos pueden adaptarse, transformarse y mantenerse en el tiempo, evitando soluciones cerradas o irreversibles. Sus proyectos desplazan la ambición técnica desde los componentes hacia los sistemas de unión, defendiendo que las conexiones ajustables y reversibles pueden concentrar valor, adaptabilidad y capacidad de reparación. Orts entiende las uniones no como elementos secundarios, sino como piezas clave para alargar la vida útil de los objetos y facilitar su reconfiguración. Este enfoque se materializa en propuestas que reutilizan materiales industriales existentes, donde los sistemas de fijación permiten nuevos usos sin borrar las huellas de su vida anterior. Su investigación se centra especialmente en cómo acoplamientos, abrazaderas, collarines y soluciones improvisadas pueden resolver materiales de procedencia diversa. Frente a la complejidad tecnológica, apuesta por una inteligencia reparable, basada en lógicas de producción locales y accesibles. En conjunto, su práctica propone una forma de diseño consciente y pragmática, donde el conocimiento técnico, la economía de medios y la cultura material dialogan para generar sistemas abiertos, duraderos y en constante evolución. *** ## 📅 Información práctica 📍 La Clandestina (Poblenou) 🗓 Sábado 18 y domingo 19 de abril ⏰ De 10:00 a 14:00h 💸 Precio: 68€ (materiales incluidos) 📩 Inscripciones: hola@laclandestinadepoblenou.org

Taller de cocción cerámica Raku Después de semanas construyendo el horno —cortando, probando y ajustando cada detalle— por fin estamos listos para compartirlo. Este taller propone una aproximación práctica y experimental a la cocción cerámica mediante distintas técnicas de Raku, explorando procesos, materiales y resultados únicos. *** ### ¿Qué es el Raku? El Raku es una técnica de cocción cerámica tradicional japonesa caracterizada por extraer las piezas del horno al rojo vivo (aprox. 1000 °C) y colocarlas en contenedores con materiales orgánicos (serrín, hojas, plumas, etc.). Este proceso genera una atmósfera de reducción que produce efectos únicos: acabados metálicos, ahumados y craquelados irrepetibles. *** ### Técnicas que exploraremos Durante el taller experimentaremos con diferentes tipos de cocción, según su nivel de intervención: ### **Menos agresivas** * Enfriado natural sin choque térmico * *Sagar*: piezas envueltas en aluminio con materiales orgánicos * *Pit firing*: cocción al fuego con la pieza envuelta en tejidos y materiales orgánicos * Carbonación / cocción en gaceta: reducción en contenedores cerrados ### **Medio agresivas** * Extracción a alta temperatura sin choque térmico posterior * Rakú dulce (pelo, azúcar, etc.): intervenciones directas sobre la pieza caliente ### **Muy agresivas** * Técnicas con choque térmico para generar efectos más intensos * *Naked Raku*: con preparación previa de engobes y reducción en serrín * *Obvara*: inmersión en mezcla de agua, harina, levadura y azúcar *** ### Formatos del taller ### **Para ceramistas** * Trae tus propias piezas listas para Raku (bizcochadas) * Experimenta con diferentes técnicas de superficie * Duración: 4–5 horas * Precio: 80 €/persona ### **Para público general** * Día 1: creación de piezas * Día 2: cocción Raku * (Día 3 opcional según formato) * Horario: de 9:30 h a 14:30 h No es necesario tener experiencia previa. Estamos preparando sesiones con piezas incluidas para que puedas vivir el proceso completo desde cero. *** ### ¿Qué te llevarás? * Introducción práctica a la cocción Raku * Experimentación con diferentes técnicas y acabados * Comprensión de procesos de reducción y choque térmico * Piezas únicas e irrepetibles *** ### 📅 Información práctica 📍 La Clandestina (Poblenou) 🗓 Viernes 13 de abril ⏰ De 9:30h a 14:30 h 💸 Precio: 80 € (materiales incluidos) 📩 Inscripciones: hola@laclandestinadepoblenou.org

**Let’s catch up and take an afternoon break.** **Grab a coffee or snack and let’s chit chat! Gayle and I will bring adult coloring books and/or a simple craft if you’d like to unwind and relax.😊**

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

**Let’s have lunch and have some extra fun! Bring your favorite game! 🥳**

**Caller: Richard Ades** **Band: The McKenzies** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
