Research Practice focuses on the handmade object that examines a blend of traditional and contemporary creative processes. These processes examine senses of location and place as a thematic inspiration. Recent research outcomes have examined geographic positions, creative processes exploring well-being and recovery and (written) investigations with a focus on architecture and craft.
