Zuzanna Skurka

Zuzanna Skurka describes herself as a designer, craftsman, researcher and material translator, working on translations between materials, systems and ways of understanding. Her practice is not aimed at industrially innovative products but at broadening how materials are understood, and her latest quasi-academic research analyses modern brick production and proposes alternative tools to reimagine architecture.

Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice and in crafts, glass and ceramics at the Royal Danish Academy in Nexo, she now follows a master in strategic design and entrepreneurship with Copenhagen Business School and works from Copenhagen. Her brick and clay work has travelled to 3daysofdesign, Dutch Design Week, Alcova during Milan Design Week, CID Grand Hornu and the museums of Bornholm and Middelfart.
