Welcome to the forge. How can I help you?
…
Ok, do you want stones with that?
…
Only red ones. Okay. And material?
…
Mmm, and texture?
…
Ok, anything else?

Alright, your order will be ready within 10-55 days. You never know. Have a good day!
I am using my degree project to explore the role of a crafter in a world that is increasingly becoming more digital. Seeing that social media has become a reality as much as the physical world, I sense that the value of tactile knowledge is undergoing transformation.
Creating an understanding of the connection between time and good craft is central to my degree project. In doing so, I am using the structures of consumer society, like the gig economy, to present slow handicraft. With a portable studio, I can offer the same flexible services, but with the aim that the result will be very, very, very slow deliveries.
