Conversations in Craft: The Future is Handmade

Heritage in the Modern Craft Sector: Exploring what it means to hold on to traditional techniques and interpret them for the future
About this Event

Heritage craft grabs headlines, what does that mean for the craft sector of today? What can we learn from heritage skills, who is translating these skills into modern techniques and what do we lose if they disappear?

An exploration of what it means to make with your hands, to hold on to traditional techniques and interpret them for the modern world. Greater Manchester is no stranger to making, with a strong industrial and making heritage, how do we honour that heritage in a region with its eyes so focussed on the future?
