A Human-Crafted Future

About

In this experience, you will learn about crafts of the past and make handcrafted objects as you explore possibilities for a future that is digital yet deeply human.

Your host will be Trish Talob, an artist-researcher and meditation teacher who explores the concept of preserving "human-ness" in a digital world (https://www.instagram.com/daily.warosoku/)

What to expect

Each aspect of the experience encourages you to connect with the world around you and with others in non-digital/analog ways.

• Craft Object Show-and-Tell: Trish will show and talk about objects that inspire people to envision a future that is digital yet deeply human. She will share traditional Japanese craft objects from her personal collection, as well as objects she has made herself.
• Meditative Crafting: Trish will guide you through a few simple craft activities in a meditative way

You will leave the experience with…

• a new perspective on craft
• a notebook handmade by Trish, which you can use for recording mindful observations, thoughts etc
• a few origami envelopes made by you, which you can use to communicate with someone special in an analog way
• a set of rolled beeswax candles made by you, which you can use for mindful moments or celebrations
• a simple air dry clay holder for the candles
