workBENCH 9. - Barnabás Máder

In this series the members show their workbench: the place where plans come true, projects materialize.
Responser: BARNABÁS MÁDER - porcelain designer

Barnabás likes to work in the evening and at night, when everybody else sleeping, so there is quiet, no telephone rings and nothing can disturb him at work. For planning he uses the traditional methods: drawing with pencil, ruler and caliper, but there are more complicated situations when using a computer can help too. For implementing he uses special tools are the 'citlings", these are metal slats in various size. Barnabás has a favourite sicling for every movement, every step.
He can get inspiration from anything, daily routines or little details or unsolved problems, moreover the idea can came from politics too. Also very important him the work with his students.
He drinks coffee and tea, coffee just with milk, tea without sugar; alcohol is for celebration!
If he has problem in work, he need break, and try to do something totally else. The problem needs its own time to be clear - sometimes it takes only 5-10 minutes but sometimes it takes days or weeks.
He likes to listening to radio while he works, especially talking broadcasts about culture, science and some politics too. But of course when the work is too intense he not really sense what is on the radio... Special tasks need special music, so he selects music to the mood of the current work.

Barnabás works in a traditionally manual profession, in craft, but he would like to have an 3D printer, he sees fantasy in the possibility, but he thinks there are a lot of shapes he try to made in a traditional way rather than plan in computer.
