Research Fellow
South West Creative Technology Network
April 2019 - March 2020
I explored the impact of automation technologies on craft production models. I proposed that automated platforms could extend the capabilities of ‘craft’ whilst also making it more accessible by addressing some of the barriers to participation in the traditional workshop-centric model of craft production. Research shared through journal publication and conference submission.
