Craftwork is a multidisciplinary design and art studio exploring the nature of craft through science, storytelling, and materiality. Our broad-based skill set focuses on emerging technologies, manufacturing techniques, and novel materials explored through historical and cultural contexts. We work across various mediums including textiles, technology, film, and ceramics, and past projects include public light installations, plant vessels, and interactive textile sculptures. We intentionally engage in experimental craft techniques in both the physical and digital realms, frequently intertwined, to explore emerging experiences and concepts.
