The Challenging Craft conference aims to explore the revolution in craft practice currently occuring in Scotland and around the world. When: 8-10 September, 2004 Where: Robert Gordon University, School of Management, Garthdee Road, Aberdeen How is the nature of craft practice changing? How do we make sense of these changes? What is the changing role of the maker in our culture? How is craft education contributing to this process? What is the new politics and practice of craft in the 21st century? ChallengingCraft will address these issues within the following themes: • Hybrid practice – challenging traditional craft boundaries • Craft and new technology – implications for practice • Challenging craft education • Craft articulating culture • New collaborative craft practices This conference will be of interest to practitioners, educators, researchers and theorists working across a wide range of disciplines. It represents a unique forum to explore the fast changing context and nature of craft practice, and through this to define appropriate agendas and priorities for craft research.
