The symposium Material Symphysis sets out to celebrate not only the exhibition and developing international links but to look at similar and differing views on how material experience through the study of crafts is taught across two diverse cultures and institutions. Speakers from the UK and Japan examine a range of topics from practice to theory and the balance between skills and ideas as drivers in education.
Speakers include, Professor Simon Olding, Debra Allman and Risa Ohgi.
