WELCOME TO PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE CRAFT PRACTICE RESEARCH
Past, Present & Future Craft Practice (PPFCP) research is based at
Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of
Dundee, Scotland. This major project is funded by the Art and
Humanities Research Council, U.K., and is led by the Principal
Investigator Professor Georgina Follett and Research Associate Dr
Louise Valentine. PPFCP is exploring new directions, practices and
perspectives in contemporary craft - helping to define a new relevance
for craft in the 21st century.
The project involves a core team of academics at the University of
Dundee who are committed to exploring craft research. The team also
includes Bill Nixon, Professor of Law and Accountancy; Murdo Macdonald,
Professor of Scottish Art History and three PhD researchers, namely
Elizabeth Donald, Fanke Peng and Frances Stevenson. The team share a
common interest in visual thinking and theory; knowledge management and
its impact on contemporary culture; the development of a visual
language and its relationship to economic and cultural wellbeing.
