Goals and Objectives

This Studio, Building is Crafting, intends to understand the basis of design and what inherent qualities an object must filter through to be labeled as a designed object. Through this workshop, participants will explore the phenomenological position of human minds, their ability, their duties and most importantly, their relationships between collective minds through making objects.

The workshop will focus on various crafting techniques including:

The art of weaving
Woodworks
Metalwork
Leather binding
Clay molding

Activities will include lectures, hands-on workshops with the faculties, working with invited craftsmen, and site visits. Final products will be exhibited later.
