Structures of Meaning | Making as a process of becoming

When | tbc

Where | tbc

In his work, Tim Ingold (2003) challenges the idea that making is simply about imposing a pre-conceived design or form onto raw materials. Instead, he argues that making is a process of engagement with materials, where the maker learns and adapts through interaction with the world.

Following Ingold’s suggestion that making is a process of becoming more aware, we embark on a creative journey ourselves. Using natural materials – foraged and received – we will weave ‘bug hotels’ that can be placed in the natural environment. Though some techniques will be suggested, this journey is not about following a blueprint. Rather, it is about developing an intuitive and personal relationship between the self, the materials, and the surrounding environment.
