Our Irish partner, Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI) was delighted to have the opportunity to present on the CRAFTS CODE project today at the launch of Craft Hub. DCCI EU Project Manager, Nikola Tomic spoke about our upcoming seminar on 'How to innovate the craft sector' which will take place on the 10th and 11th May and is open to all to attend!
Craft Hub is a European project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme focused on Craft in the context of cultural heritage and its continuing relevance in contemporary practice.
The project activities involve investigating and documenting craft skills and processes; their differing application in creative practice across Europe; and questions of cultural specificity & individual motivations of practitioners. This will be addressed through a comprehensive and exciting program to allow the creation of new craft work/experimental investigations into process and material supported by 42 transnational maker residencies, 305 days of outreach work, 1 festival, 7 exhibitions and 2 conferences.
Congratulations to all the speakers on their interesting presentations today and we wish Craft Hub partners the very best of luck with the new project. We can't wait to see the results!
