Craft Studies

The programme takes a lot of inspiration from the threefold craft theory (by Eik Hermann) of legwork, handwork, and headwork. Legwork involves all the different ways of wandering aimlessly, gathering inspiration and materials, be it somewhere physically on-site or spiritually and mentally among memories and influences. Handwork is the most known of the three and encompasses all the ways of approaching material, making something out of it, using one’s hands as well as tools and other prosthetic objects. Headwork entails the processes of making sense of the material world – metaphysically, politically, culturally – and reflecting consciously on one’s own work and positioning oneself as an artist in the craft field. The programme attempts to incorporate and promote all three in equal measure.
