The Knowledge House for Craft is a new association for those who create and maintain craft knowledge. It is where different cultures can converse around a shared interest in the role of making. Although geographically diverse, our members and our guests share a common interest in building a dynamic repository and dialogue about crafts and their ecologies. In summary, we acknowledge the importance of materiality in an increasingly abstract world and the plurality of perspectives beyond the Western model. Our goal is to support the creation, sharing and maintenance of information and ideas about the handmade.  Through Garland magazine, we have been hosting a series of [talks](http://garlandmag.com/wheel) that sample important issues in craft knowledge from the wider world.  We have also started groundwork on a repository for this knowledge, which also contains our manifesto.  One of our key activities/projects is to connect groups who, like us, support craft knowledge, including universities, museums, associations, workshops, festivals and projects. We hope to facilitate a sharing of information and collaboration that will strengthen our field. Organisations are welcome to join our network. Members can share information of interest to the wider community through our email list. This is especially useful for projects that might benefit from a broader audience. Please send an email to knowledgehouseofcraft(@)gmail.com to learn about joining this network. ### Current network - [[Ahmedabad University - Centre for Heritage Management]] (India) - [[Alfoldy Institute of Craft]] (Canada) - [[Art Jewelry Forum]] (USA) - [[Benyamini Contemporary Ceramics Center]] (Israel) - [[CEPT University]] (India) - [[Craft History Workshop]] (Canada and USA) - [[Craft Research]] - [[Crafts Council of India]] - [[Crafts on Peel]] (China, Hong Kong) - [[Haptic & Hue]] (UK) - [[Indian Institute of Craft and Design]] - [[Indian Ocean Craft Triennial]] (India) - [[Formkraft]] (Denmark) - [[Go for Kogei]] (Japan) - Guiyang Pre-school Education College (China) - [[Journal of Modern Craft]] - [[JoyaBrava]] (Chile) - [[Jugaad Project]] (USA) - [[Kominka]] (Japan) - [[Konstfack University of Arts, Craft & Design]] (Sweden) - [[Lagi-Maama]] (Moana, New Zealand) - Living Waters Museum (India) - [[MAP Academy]] (India) - [[Massachusetts College of Art and Design]] (USA) - [[Material Intelligence]] (USA) - [[MATRIA - Mercado de Artesanías Tradicionales e Innovadoras Argentinas]] - [[Meet the Makers]] (Indonesia) - [[Mingei Film Archive]] (Canada) - [[Museum for Wood and Art]] (USA) - [[Norwegian Crafts]] - [[RMIT University]] (Australia) - [[Studio Magazine]] (Canada) - [[Swedish Crafts Centre (Konsthantverkscentrum)]] (Sweden) - Textile Atlas (Hong Kong) - [[Tongyeong Triennale]] (South Korea) - [[Tracing Patterns]] - [[Tribal Design Forum]] (India) - Tsinghua University (China) - [[Umm El-Fahem Art Gallery]] (Israel) - [[University of New South Wales]] (Australia) - XJTLU School of Design (Suzhou, China) - [[WALKA]] (Chile) - [[Zay Initiative]] (United Arab Emirates)
