About

Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design's Research Lab CRAFT explores, both through thinking and studio work, the role of craft today, what research in craft can be, and what it can do to, and tell us about, ourselves and society. It is a focused, one year course aimed at craft professionals.

Overview

What you will study

In the course Research Lab CRAFT, offered by Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, we explore how contemporary craft practitioners can engage with artistic research, contributing to and with their own craft practices as method. Through seminars/conversations, readings, exercises, group discussions and individual tutorials, Research Lab CRAFT! encourages reflection on the relation between making, writing, speaking contemporary craft practice, research and language.

Students are encouraged to develop definitions of the word "craft" and other key terms within their practice, and to position themselves within a research environment by going through this set of questions, individually and collectively.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  • What is artistic research? 
  • How can craft practice guide research? 
  • In what ways can we define craft? 
  • How do we do, voice and read craft practices? 
  • How can we work to question normative methods and give space for new pedagogy and scholarship? 
  • What kind of research are we already doing, and how does making function in our research process?
