Practical’ is a one-day workshop series offering artists and

from the practical to the conceptual. Participants will have the
opportunity to ask questions, interact and connect with the
presenters and their creative peers on a myriad of topics. This
event provides an important opportunity to think about ‘craft’ from
fresh perspectives and with one’s eyes – and mind – wide open. The
diversity of participants will encourage and develop a forum for new
dialogue that addresses ‘craft’ within contemporary practice and
thought, rather than framing it within the constructs of generations
past. To register, find schedule information, or to download the
