The Quilting Studio

On the Craft of Making and Giving

Pages 14-22 | Published online: 05 Mar 2013
 

Abstract

The quilting studio examines the importance of craft in sustaining community through a design-build project that brings together qualities of hand and digital production, resourcefulness and stewardship. Standing apart from the fast-paced modern world, the quilter acts to preserve social fabric through patient, repetitive, and reflective work that challenges our notions of aesthetics and the ordinary. Over the period of two semesters, undergraduate students from three different year levels studied the work of their client, Ms. Benson, in order to understand how these values can be integrated in the process of architectural making.
