‘Wont’ to do …..😁

Back in my home town for one night only to speak, as I am want to do, about the ongoing importance of hands-on making skills alongside digital tools and knowledges. bit.ly/3U8RoZZ #CP3Creative

Excited that images of crafty textile producers from the ARC Project: 'The value of craft skills to the future of making in Australia' are to be featured as part of the Imagine Circular Fashion Pop-Up as part of Adelaide Fashion Week. rundlemall.com/whats-on/event…

@anderson_lainie @UniversitySA @Stubbs_Ben It’s been an absolute joy and a privilege @anderson_lainie, plus you wear the hat so much better - it suits you Dr Anderson!

An absolute honour to graduate with a doctorate from @UniversitySA today. A joyful ceremony full of respect, meaning and diversity. Couldn’t have got here without @SusanLuckman and @Stubbs_Ben … thank you. 🙏🏻

Huge congratulations @amandatink and Jess White for bringing this event together. Great to see this ARC project showcasing what more inclusive scholarly practices can be and do while championing important scholarship and storytelling.

Back on the road again undertaking interviews with artisanal makers. This week central-western Victoria: Oxford chairs, ceramics, shoes and leather bags, beer, cheese, gin, whiskey and spun metal. Thanks to all the makers who have shared their stories with us!

While The Guardian has recently picked up on the rise of construction workers as social media stars, this 2022 (open access) article outlines some reasons about why we're seeing increased interest in screened making, and what is at stake in its visibility: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
