Dyspraxia in the Workshop
Detailed exploration of how dyspraxia impacts craft practitioners. In 2015/2016 I conducted interviews in the studios, at the bench space of ceramicists, jewellery, metal and textiles students. We discussed their experiences as students at the RCA and as designer makers in their professional practice. This animation was created by talented animator Hakim Ismail to bring to life some extracts from those interviews.
