Last week's lecture about craft, technology and design outlined the importance of craft and "making". The most interesting aspect of the lecture to me was how design materials influence craft and vice versa. This has occurred throughout history, even starting in the stone age where rock was chiseled with tools. Examples of craft influencing culture were given, outlining how craft was influenced by the first, second and third industrial revolutions due to the culture of that time. The question was brought up about our current culture and how it has inspired design and craft.
