Craft NI are excited to release the 2023 Spring Programme, starting with a Conversation with Katie Treggiden, author, journalist and speaker who is currently exploring the question ‘can craft save the world?’ through an emerging body of work that includes her fifth book, Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure (Ludion, 2020), and a podcast, Circular with Katie Treggiden.
Taking place over zoom on Thursday 23rd February at 2pm, join us for a Conversation with Katie Treggiden with insights and observations arising from her research into the role craft can play in a circular economy.
During this session, Katie will discuss emerging trends and some recent examples of steps that makers are taking on their journey to increasing sustainability in their craft practices. If you have questions for Katie or examples of your own that you’d like to share, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
Katie is keen to structure the conversation around maker questions to keep the session as relevant as possible. If you have any questions for Katie please make sure to email them ahead of time by Monday 13th February to lorna.towns@craftni.org.
