'designing by making' is a project organized by german designer werner aisslinger
at the karlsuhe university of arts and design. together with the centre international
d_art verrier (ciav) in meisenthal, france, a group of 14 students developed new
and different methods of working with glass. they experimented with new types
of materials like basalt fiber, glass fiber, fire-resistant substances and wood splinters
which they worked in, while the glass was still liquid. following some further
development, some of the projects will be produced in small batches.

the projects were exhibited at imm cologne 2010.
