Please assess yourself on this LAB trimester.
How can I assess myself when I feel like there is no the criteria? What should my judgment be based on?  I think that from the moment you got something from lab, you did well. Whether you got lost and took time to find your interest or you got it right from the beginning, you get to know where your interests are. The only thing is to stay open to every possibilities and never say it won’t work if you don’t know, because you might get surprised and that’s how you learn. In that sense, I got surprised and I loved it.  
 What has this LAB trimester brought you?
This lab trimester brought me peace and happiness. It might sounds stupid but let me explain: as soon as you work for yourself, there is no failure, only new directions to take. You do things because you like to, not because you have to. You explore your own interests in total freedom, and with freedom come peace and happiness.  
 What specifically have you learnt from the collaboration?
What I like with collaboration is that you get lifted up by the other one. You want to give off your best because it’s not only about you anymore. Altogether, I learnt about Samantha.  
 Ask your COLLAB partner about your strong points and what you still need to learn. Do you agree?
“Aurélie, I found it very nice to work with you! I only knew you just by face, but when we have another trimester where to COLLAB with someone from another department, it’s not a problem to do it with you . It was nice! Thanks for that!!  
You have a really nice way of working. You are showing your strengths / passion in a very comfortable way and that makes ‘me’ and also the people around you, also comfortable to work with you as a person in a group. The structure in your way of working is very good and you’re organized in everything that comes on your way. You know very fast what you wanted to do, and that’s something you could see in your research and experiments. It was not hard for you I think. You just start and see what the outcome will be and what you can improve afterwards. I think that this is who you are, and that makes you a strong person in your inner self, but also your way of working. It’s hard for me to say what you can improve… I think I need more time to know you better. But maybe I have a point where we can help each other to improve. ‘Take a step back from the ‘Nerd’ thought .’ You know what I mean. Haha. It’s normal! If you like what you are doing, you can see that in your work. And people close to you see that too. But your work is good, and you're not a nerd. You just love what you are doing.”
With Samantha we thought we were nerds because we actually like to work a whole weekend without going out, for example. But we agree on the fact that it is actually a good thing, because it means we really like what we do and we don’t need to escape. I think we have a lot in common, that’s why we are a good team ! 
What are you most proud of this trimester? Why? Anything you're not proud of?
I’m proud of the result I got from my material experiments because it went further than my expectations. I ended up with something that I really like and I feel I can push further. It’s the end of lab but only the beginning of my work that I wish I could use in my department next trimester or if not, in personal projects. I am also proud when I see people’s reaction when they see and feel my experimentation because that’s exactly what I was aiming for. I like to surprise and pique people’s curiosity.
 What needs to change to make LAB2 better for the next students? What is good?
I think that having presentation of students in the morning is a shame because we can see their tumblr and because we are at the same experimentation stage, it’s not always inspiring. It is better when lecture is given by someone from outside the academy because then it’s fresh and new. Plus, it’s exciting to never know what the lecture will be about. Every week is a surprise!
What is good is the freedom we have. It’s basically ok to do anything. Not expecting an end result is stress relieving and a good way to learn. Indeed it’s not the destination that matters but the journey.
 What are you missing in the academy in general?
Kittens?

Well, turned out putting the seeds in between the pieces was not a really good idea because then they don't fit with each other and the whole object expand. But maybe we can glue the pieces and then cover the joint with seeds. There is plenty of things to do with that : how to put them, maybe combine them, send them or not...

An accident that wasn't one. Yesterday i broke a plate. At first i was like "aaargh damn it!" But then i thought " heeeeyy this might actually be a good thing" With Samantha we talked about experimenting with ceramic and we came up with the conclusion that we had to find a way to combine it with seeds or tea without using the ceramic oven (otherwise it burns). So why not repair broken things ? And not only repair but also create a new relief, texture and colour combination.

CoLAB with Samantha
We both want to go further with our topic. So we are going for a merging that will lead to something new.
Our first idea :
From textured chemistry to textured chocolate
