Anyone working in or with a museum?
arecamuk 02/03/11
I'm trying to find out about how museums are using craft work as part of what they offer to the public, as I'm writing a dissertation on the benefits of teaching traditional crafts in museums. I'd be really grateful if anyone working in or with a museum would be willing to tell me a little bit about what they're doing and why. At most it would involve filling in a questionnaire, but even just the name of a museum and a small amount of information about a project or activity would be extremely useful. Many thanks, Alison Edmondson

I had a go at rag rug making, in the Castle Museum in Norwich, a couple of weeks ago as part of their exhibition 'Restless Times; Art in Britain 1914-1945'. I've long wanted to try this. A professional rag-rugger was getting people of all ages to try it.
Many thanks, Katy - I have now joined CAN, which looks really useful, and posted the question there.

HI Alison, have you tried posting your question on CAN? That is the Craft Action Network for educators in craft where you'll find lots of professionals. craft-action.org.uk
