About this Event
EVENT DESCRIPTION
It is sometimes easy to forget that there’s more to the creative industries than laptops and noisy zoom calls about influencer marketing. Many young creatives still actually make stuff. We talk about the future of making and manufacturing (micro and macro), the sometimes-strained relationship between design and technology, the dangers of craft nostalgia, material research and more.
