In this episode, Attua talks about winning the Design Museum’s 2024 Ralph Saltzman Prize for design, how her work intersects design, craft and art, why she left Spain for the UK, the importance of sustainability in her process, her experiments in fusing borosilicate glass with clay to create sparkling ceramics, how a shelf-unit she made recalls memories of her childhood and how she is experimenting using ceramics with textiles.
