First proposed by Gordon Burnett in 2000, the concept of Making Sense has been a vehicle for collaborative research that resulted in 2004 in a major international conference Challenging Craft and a related on-line project Connectivity.
In 2007 a new phase of research was initiated through a
practice-led research project - a dialogue between two
makers - Burnett and Carole Gray - that attempted to
question experiences of making and their value as a form of knowing through reflective and active methods.
