PRINT
A work-in-progress exhibition took place at CassArts gallery in Glasgow’s city centre in September 2023, providing a focus for discussions on collaborative practice and alternative approaches to making. The research group explores the tacit knowledge in craft and making in a contemporary context and is informed by Pamela H. Smith’s Making and Knowing project at Columbia University, Fraser Muggeridge’s PhD Thesis, “A knowing wrongness: innovation in graphic design through combinations of traditional mastery and deliberately unconventional approaches”, the research leads own research on ‘The Handmade in a Digital Age’, Robert Sennett’s ideas expressed in ‘The Craftsman’ and Robert Sapolsky’s ‘Open Season’ article for The New Yorker, 30th March 1998, p57. Research is developed through a practice-led research approach as defined by Smith & Dean (2009).
