“ARTISANS is a school project and at the same time, it is an adventure.
We journey through untrodden tracks in South East Asia seeking traditional village crafts so as to understand, learn and eventually, develop contemporary designs that promote our Asian heritage, aesthetics and lifestyle. Through this, we hope to educate the values and beauty of craft making and at the same time, provide exposure of different cultures and way of life for our students.
ARTISANS endeavors to be a sustainable social design project. This project searches for the roots of traditional Asian crafts that is fast losing its popularity and documents our expedition and
interaction in the village, with the people and their crafts. We hope to promote and sustain these crafts by applying them to newly developed products that are of relevance to today’s
contemporary living.
Through this educational program, ARTISANS offers students the opportunity to learn and acquire these skills to develop new and contemporary object typology within its local context.”
