INTRODUCTION /

 

 

The idea of digital craft has been present for the past two decades. Individual practitioners started producing work with hybrid craft techniques, and proved the potential benefits of digital craft in expanding creativity and appealing to a wider audience. In response, this research aims to investigate how digital fabrication technologies influence craft practices. This workshop is held as part of the project leader's research project titled 'The work of art in the age of post-digital production: A study of the maker culture in Hong Kong' supported by the University Grants Committee Early Career Scheme  (ref: 28606418, 2019-2020).

 

 

Principal Investigator: Dr. Song Min Jeong from the Department of Cultural and Creative Arts at the Education University of Hong Kong

Collaborator: DTSL (STEM education specialist group)
