Exhibition
THE CREATIVE POWER OF CLAY . About the life's work of Carl Giskes
Sunday, 24/05/2026 / 01:00 PM / Lehmmuseum Gnevsdorf
Photo exhibition on selected projects by Carl Giskes and Tierrafino
Carl Giskes has written international natural building history with his company Terrafino. From Duisburg to Marrakech to Seoul, there is hardly an extraordinary clay project in which the Amsterdam-based artist, craftsman and inventor has not been involved.
In 1977, he traveled back to Germany to work as a student of the artist Joseph Beuys. However, his encounter with clay in Africa did not let him go. With his company Terrafino, he set out to bring the earth's best materials back into interiors and create environments that are aesthetically pleasing, healthy and sustainable at the same time. Visitors to the Clay Museum can now see for themselves just how beautiful "healthy" can be.
