Click HERE for a very interesting video recording of a London Crafts Council employee talking about 'Why Craft Education Matters'. It was presented in 2016, and I believe it is pertinent to where NZ is also going. I was particularly interested in the comments re 'haptic' skills - "the skills of touch we rely on for making". She talks about an English University, where the people undertaking the surgeon course did not have the accurate hand skills required for surgery, so they got the students to work with clay.
