Make do and Mend: Playful Design for Repair
Event description
Part of Sydney Craft Week 2019.
From trash to treasure, people respond differently to second-hand things, more so when they become broken, damaged or in need of repair. How might design play a role in changing perceptions and attitudes towards these materials? In complex times, can we make do and mend? This event brings together designers, object conservators and the general public for a hands-on workshop exploring playful design for repair.
Designers, artisans and conservators will be working with the public to playfully repair or transform your broken things.
WHAT: Participatory design workshop
WHO: Workshop led by Kate Scardifield with Alia Parker, Emma Peters and conservator from MAAS.

WHEN: 19 October 2019, 12:30 - 4:30pm
