Jasmina Glavinche is a visual artist and artisan working with handmade paper crafted from recycled materials, often combined with other forms of waste materials. With a background in art history and archaeology, her practice bridges sustainable craft, cultural heritage, and ecological design, exploring connections between nature, memory, and material. She creates poetic yet functional objects that reflect our relationship with nature and seek to transform waste into forms of renewal.
Her field of interest lies at the intersection of ecological craft, material storytelling, and environmental regeneration. She is particularly engaged with the use of algae and other lake-derived matter in papermaking as a way to work directly with the ecology of freshwater basins. European lakes, with their distinctive biodiversity and layered cultural histories, are central to this research.
“Pulpa” is a design collection that reimagines waste from lake environments as the basis for sustainable, handcrafted objects. Combining recycled paper, lake algae, and imprints of cultural symbols, the collection bridges ecology, tradition, and innovation, inviting us to reconsider what we throw away and to rediscover meaning in what nature offers.
