This webinar session will engage members of the field of Jewelry and Metalsmithing. During this event our guest speakers Kyoko Hashimoto and Guy Keulemans will discuss how place-based making and bioregional design has shaped their studio practice.
Kyoko and Guy utilize their multidisciplinary design practice to propose ethical and aesthetic challenges to paradigms of material use in industrial production. Working across critical and experimental craft and design, they advocate for new kinds of sensory engagement with materials and position their works as tools to examine human relations to ecology.
In addition to the discussion, we have asked Kyoko and Guy to empower our audience by providing suggestions for us to take back to our own studios. There will also be ample time for Q&A.
