Ethnography Interview Guide for non-craft people

I would like to ask these questions of the volunteers I get to take part in different activities.   These people will not normally take part in such activities.  From these ethnographic studies I hope to unearth elements to involve in my artefact.


Introduction
Name, age, have you ever got involved in crafting before, if so, what?
If not, why?  Are you interested/excited about the possibility?
Personal and professional ambitions?

WHAT
What did you get involved in today?
What do you feel you have learnt?
What could you gain from a pursuit like this?
What were your expectations and opinions before you tried this? What were your assumptions about crafting and people who craft?


WHY
for the above?

HOW
Will you continue/try anything else?
How will you find out more?

WHO
Who will you ask for help?
Who will you tell?
Who will you get involved?

IF
If you could take anything form this what would it be?
If you could ask a craft/designer/maker something, what would it be?
Have your assumptions about crafting changed?
