I have been a musician for as long as I can remember. Many years ago, I met a ceramicist, and fell in love with her and with her work. Since then I am looking for ways to combine music with crafts, so that we can create together. In Sounding Craft, I put into words some of what I have learned, and demonstrate a practical way for craftspeople, or anyone else for that matter, to approach a musician’s perspective on creativity.
sounding craft was part of konstfack’s research lab.
