MARK DIEST
Germany
Mark develops kinetic light objects that explore the interplay between natural movement and mechanical logic. His current work is inspired by the rhythmic, wave-like movements of comb jellies. In his objects, he translates these natural phenomena into visible mechanical processes that create a sense of liveliness.

MELVIN KACZMARCZY
Germany
As a sculptor, Melvin wants to find the essence of shape through geometry and nature. As a designer, he is fascinated by the beauty of everyday objects of use, for they are closest to life. As a craftsman, Melvin is interested in the will and voice of the material. As an artist, he wants to not only give questions, but perhaps an answer, every now and then. As a person, he is grasping for the eternal, whenever he can find the courage.

EEMU KAIKKONEN
Finland
Eemu is an artist with in-depth knowledge about traditional and contemporary metalworking techniques. Through the combination of control and intuition during the process, he creates organic and airy sculptures with themes of growth and mind, turning non-physical phenomena into physical beings.

ADAM KMINIAK
Slovakia
Adam is a sword maker from Slovakia and currently most interested in pushing the boundaries of what a sword is. He is working with non-traditional techniques and aesthetics while honoring the values of traditional craft. Can tradition and innovation coexist within one object and lift each other up?

SEBASTIAN NORDH
Sweden
Sebastian has a background working over twenty years with material recycling and heavy machinery maintenance. He is interested in our industrial history and the impact it has on modern society and manufacturing processes. These subjects are the inspiration in his process of creating.

GRIETA SILIŅA
Latvia
Grieta has a BA degree in Metal Design from the Art Academy of Latvia. She is currently exploring ways of translating thoughts, memories, associations, and thought processes into a material language. Metal as the main component helps her find a balance between communicating the content of the thoughts themselves and the symbolic shapes they might take on.

MIRIAM STÅHLGREN
Sweden
West Swedish sculptor, maker and fairly competent artist. Hopeful thinker of post-mundane thoughts and believer of post-ironic appreciation of beauty. Works and interests include themes of identity and belonging, spirituality and storytelling, and making in the periphery of modernity.

CHRISTOPH VON ROHDEN
Germany
Trained as an artist blacksmith he is driven by the vast possibilities the material steel offers. During an experimental working process he forms the steel and gets informed by its response, while trying to find its fragile and delicate qualities.

JULIAN WOUDSTRA
UK / Netherlands
Julian´s practice investigates how lightweight structures inhabit and reshape space, drawing from a vocabulary of fragile, adaptable forms that interlace with their surroundings rather than simply occupy them. Through experiments with raw and fabricated materials, he pursues architectures that move in tandem with their environments—systems that bend, hinge, and recalibrate as context presses back. In this reciprocity, he seeks a middle ground where sculpture and structure co-evolve, revealing how presence can be both minimal and deeply spatial.

URSZULA M ZWIERZ
Poland / Sweden
Urszula previously studied in the Jewellery and Corpus program at Konstfack in Stockholm. She uses metal to translate the softness of toys, memories, and childhood into forms that feel both familiar and strange. Her work invites playful interaction as a way to spark joy while also reflecting on how cultural and commercial systems shape our earliest experiences. Through this mix of nostalgia, cuteness, and material tension, she explores what it means to remember, imagine, and play.
