CALL FOR PAPERS & EXHIBITION PROPOSALS
New Craft - Future Voices
The first international 'New Craft - Future Voices'
conference will be hosted by Duncan of Jordanstone
College, University of Dundee, Scotland from 04 - 06
July 2007.
The conference will encourage the discussion
surrounding the future of craft. It seeks to expose
and articulate craft issues currently being
investigated via doctoral research, post-doctoral
research and craft practitioners, and to document new
ways of questioning and disseminating the dialogue of
craft practice.
'New Craft - Future Voices' will explore the relation
between skill, intellect and culture within the
individual vision of crafts practitioners. Under this
banner, the following themes could serve as areas for
discussion and exploration:
. Craft and science
. Innovation, design and craft
. Story-making and storytelling
. Epistemology of making
. Craft and the economy
. Craft and digital process
. Craft and cultural diversity
. The pedagogy of craft
. Practice and research
. Craft management
. Mindfulness
. Intelligent making
. Craft & Dialogue
. Craft and manufacturing
. Intuition, Creativity & Craft
. Craft and wellbeing
Papers and exhibition proposals on these or related
topics are sought for presentation at the NCFV
conference. Papers and exhibition proposals from craft
practitioners and researchers and other atypical
sources are of particular interest. We also welcome
case studies of successful doctoral education,
examples of best practice in education, craft practice
from all disciplines, teaching, learning, supervision
and successful programs and/or initiatives. The
emphasis should be on the intellectual framework or
thinking and making process of craft.
