Christine Casey, Professor of Architectural History, Trinity College Dublin, has written to notify IHBC members that the CRAFTVALUE digital exhibition ‘CRAFT UNCOVERED’ is now accessible on the project website HERE.
… features elements from a number of important British and Irish buildings…
Christine Casey writes:
… The exhibition employs digital techniques, video footage and archival text to uncover historic craft practices. It includes buildings in the custody of stakeholder institutions in Ireland and the UK and on-site video interviews with leading conservation practitioners in wood, plasterwork and stone.
We hope that the dynamic mix of media will render the exhibition accessible to a wide audience and that it will encourage greater valorisation of craft practice especially at the vital apprenticeship stage….
The exhibition features elements from a number of important British and Irish buildings, while the video interviews with craft practitioners (sections on wood, stone and plaster) highlight the importance of maintaining living craft skills in the heritage sector.
Renewed thanks for your great support of our research over the past years. We are now in the final stages of a second edited volume entitled Between Design and Making to be published later this year and a monograph on eighteenth-century craft practice to be published in 2025….
