Members' Day - 'Digital Technology in Craft': 1.30-4.30pm (Members & Guests welcome)
Craft is often defined as a practice inextricably linked to the hand of the maker, but innovative digital technologies are changing and refining that definition, to astounding effect. We have invited four highly regarded makers who will present their inspiring work and reveal their approaches to blending digital technology with traditional techniques.

Jonathan Keep, Jack Puzey, Beth Somerville & Angela Thwaites will be presenting their work and we will be asking what part does digital technology play in Craft? As craftspeople, what do we make of AI? This event will also be an opportunity for you to share how you use digital tools in your practice, or if not, why not? We eagerly anticipate a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving definition of craft in the digital age. Find out more about our speakers here.

Members - we'd love to hear from you if you'd like to share how you use digital technology in your work, please email us: admin@societyofdesignercraftsmen.org.uk

This part of the day is open to non-members please invite friends, colleagues and fellow makers to book and join us for lunch and discussion from 12.30pm.
