An essay podcast discussing the complex term of ‘craft’: how the techniques and feeling of the materials drives the idea in craft creating a problem in validating crafts in a wider community context - and the bad wrap that craft has - the misconceptions of art and craft etc. Also discusses the intersection of Art, Craft and Design and the hybridisation that is happening now. and lots of other concepts and ideas that are really worth exploring, such as the discussion of the emerging cultural phenomenon of DIY ecological confrontion of mass consumerism - nostalically ironic domestic creativity (anyone out there heard of that?)

Anyway I urge you check out this podcast - together with slide show - can be quite heavy at times but you can click through it.
