	n‍\n\nHOSTED BY\n\nRAVA\, a word from Ursula K. Le Guin’s Always Coming Home
	\, means communication\nbeyond words. Studio RAVA\, founded by Damla Aygun
	\, is a design and creativity\npractice working across ceramic art\, sculp
	ture\, design thinking\, and creative\nentrepreneurship. Damla’s work begi
	ns with clay: a material for touch\, memory\,\nand communication beyond wo
	rds.\n\nRaised in a family of makers\, she learned early that emotion can 
	live in craft\,\nin woven fabric\, carved surfaces\, and objects made by h
	and. Her work is informed\nby feminist histories of making\, looking to th
	e marks and knowledge women have\ncarried through art\, craft\, domestic s
	paces\, and everyday objects. Her ceramics\nand sculptures continue that q
	uiet language\, giving form to stories that are\nfelt rather than spoken.\
	n\nAlongside her artistic practice\, Damla works as a strategy\, creativit
	y\, and\ninnovation consultant. She is interested in how people think\, cr
	eate\, and make\ndecisions\, and in helping them discover their own creati
	ve strength.\n\nThrough workshops on clay\, design\, and creative practice
	\, she creates calm\,\ncurious spaces to explore\, reflect\, and make.
