Immersive workshop, 2019
⭢ Uckermark, DE

With the man’s lost sense of intuition towards work with hands, how do we revive crafts?
We experiment with workshop with non-restrictive weaving techniques, improvisation and the use of locally sourced materials.
The imagination through making is the central focus of the workshop. ‘Thinking by making’ is a reaction of the current cul-de-sac phenomena of man losing their instinct to nature. These sociological enquiries into the alienation implicit in global capitalism’s increasingly atomised and deskilled production processes.

Workshop concept & teaching by Evey Kwong
Coordination by Werkstube Gerswalde
Löwen.haus’s strong emphasis with local context via the use of local sourced materials is in lined with futurprimitiv’s approach on a non-didactic way of teaching (co-creation). It is an example of how crafts learning could be engaged apart from mastering the techniques to facilitate creativity.
