“Revival”

The word “revival” plays a major part in my project. The revival/ renewal/ reinforcement of traditional craft making are not just for economical growth or social benefits but mostly for cultural growth of a region/ city/ country.  Reviving craft making involves motivating young generation to become designer makers and design craft pieces that combine traditional skills with modern influences. With the knowledge of the old and contemporary influences from young generation designers or craft makers could reinvent traditional craft products. Growing the market for traditional crafts means expanding, adding new materials and product usages to existing products.
