FOUND WEAVING / GEFUNDENES FLECHTEN

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.

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.
