“WASTE REFORMATION”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, in the early 20th century, people would rely on their local communities for amenities such as food, farming, clothing etc. As technology has increased throughout the world, we have access to global materials and opportunities to shop elsewhere. With the climate crisis weighing heavily on the world\u2019s metaphorical shoulders, it is our duty as makers to approach craft with the view of a more sustainable future for creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This thesis will explore the role of craft in the global agenda to \u2018make do with what we have\u2019. The exploration of waste materials from local industries within the site context will comprehend a way of making with a low carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through innovative use of local materials, different methods will be utilised to explore a way in which craft may be used to represent place through materials \u2018as found\u2019 by reusing, recycling, upcycling and downcycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
