Co-Creating Craft 2014 - heritage as a site for innovationCraftspace
The work on display here is the outcome of an international research project led by Falmouth University and Craftspace with Birmingham based partners; The Wesleyan Community Care Project and Soho House Museum in Handsworth and Dublin based partners Bealtaine Festival, Dublin Castle and the Office of Public Works.
The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council through its Connected Communities Programme.
Research Questions
How does learning through craft, sharing, making and reflecting develop skills and creativity?
How can people work purposefully and enjoyably in the second half of life?
How can we create a sense of opportunity about the second half of life - to take stock, reskill, plan ahead, connect with others and live more healthily.
The project
Community participants aged 50+ in Birmingham and Dublin conducted a creative and skills exchange using online tools like skype. Each group used a heritage building, Soho House Museum and Dublin Castle, and their associated histories and collections as inspirational starting points.
Designer Maker Natalie Cole facilitated 8 creative sessions. We wanted to explore the potential for participants to craft together for pleasure and well-being, as well as making to sell as a social enterprise.
The Process
The Birmingham and Dublin groups began with a visit to Soho House Museum and Dublin Castle recording them through photographs and drawings. They then selected a motif, shape, pattern or theme from which to develop designs.
They combined hand making with cutting edge digital technology. Participants collaborated with Makernow a community digital fabrication lab at Falmouth University. Their drawings were made into digital files and sent to the lab and produced into components through laser cutting and digital milling machines.
For most participants, this project has enabled them to become digitally aware for the first time. They now have some knowledge of computer aided design and the possibilities of creating new tools, for example blocks for printing as well as components for products.

To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
