How can traditional practices and culture be maintained with the use of crafting in contemporary society?
Key research themes
Craft skills
New materials
Community and interaction
What's important to me?
Learning and understanding different crafting skills from designer makers and enthusiasts.
Researching into new materials or materials that can be used in unusual innovative ways to help crafting be seen in a different light.
Encourage groups of friends, families and communities to get more involved in activities together, to encourage storytelling and the diffusion of knowledge and skills across generations.
Using craft as a way of empowering communities to become more engaged in decisions about their local environment.
