### Record Type:: [[Claims]] ValueofCraft:: [[Creative value of craft]] ### Outline Through their practical knowledge of materials, makers can unlock new creative possibilities. The bench provides a space for creativity, such as applying a traditional technique to new materials. Engagement with new materials and technical innovation provide new creative possibilities and encourage new ways of thinking.  ‘The magic of the creative process, […] is that the situation answers and shows us new possibilities that we could not have imagined from the outset.’ (Graabaek, 2022) Julia Bennett (2018) reports that there is a growing realisation that craft can be a catalyst for innovation and has much to contribute to material knowledge and technological understanding.    %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ```dataview list summary from [[Claim - Makers are creative]] where contains(file.path,"Warp") ``` %% - [[Warp/100 Days Project Scotland.md|100 Days Project Scotland]]: Craft is a key part of a Scottish project to encourage creativity at all ages. - [[Warp/Craft-based design for innovation - Potential in novelty, quality and sustainability through hands-on interaction.md|Craft-based design for innovation - Potential in novelty, quality and sustainability through hands-on interaction]]: A design project that integrated hand weaving with sandal design demonstrated that a craft-based approach can contribute to a heightened control of materials, construction and awareness of wider design issues such as the development process, production methods and environmental impact. - [[Warp/Creative Graduates Creative Futures.md|Creative Graduates Creative Futures]]: Creative arts graduates are able to deal with complexities in the workforce. - [[Warp/Crochet coral reef.md|Crochet coral reef]]: Crochet is a means to imagine the variety of forms that evolve in a coral reef. - [[Warp/Deep craft knowledge of how things work.md|Deep craft knowledge of how things work]]: Deep craft clusters in places where tinkerers work from which innovation stems - [[Warp/In Brazil, Mending an Urban Fabric With Geometry and Bamboo.md|In Brazil, Mending an Urban Fabric With Geometry and Bamboo]]: A simple technique of weaving bamboo was developed by weaver Alison Grace Martin to maximise engagement while building models for what would replace the freeway. - [[Warp/In a World of Fast Fashion, They Take Pride in Taking Their Time.md|In a World of Fast Fashion, They Take Pride in Taking Their Time]]: Parsons College has a program Closely Crafted to encourage apprentices for languishing crafts. - [[Warp/Innovation through Craft – from policy to research to impact.md|Innovation through Craft – from policy to research to impact]]: There is a growing realisation that craft can be a catalyst for innovation and has much to contribute to material knowledge and technological understanding. - [[Warp/Linux and the problem solving tribe.md|Linux and the problem solving tribe]]: Coding and pottery are both crafts because they are open-loop systems. - [[Warp/Of blocks and knots - Architecture as weaving.md|Of blocks and knots - Architecture as weaving]]: Textiles is foundational for the development of architecture. - [[Warp/Renzo Piano professes to be a craftsman.md|Renzo Piano professes to be a craftsman]]: Drawing by hand improves the design process. - [[Warp/Roseanne Bartley - Found out series.md|Roseanne Bartley - Found out series]]: Roseanne Bartley's work reflects the "critique of preciousness" that has inspired much contemporary jewellery.
