SSoA is pleased to announce this year’s School Forum series – The Thinking Craftsperson.
We have a brilliant programme of speakers who are all makers in different fields. They have been asked to discuss their work, specifically focussing on what it means to craft (particularly in relation to digital technology), what determines their use of materials and techniques, and what is matter’s relationship with culture. The series has been organised by Professor Sarah Wigglesworth.
This weekly series of lectures will start on Tuesday 5. February at 4pm with a lecture by Blanch and Shock on Cuisine and Design.
The full series is as follows:
- 5 Feb – Blanch and Shock [cuisine and design]
