right way: the future of Indigenous craft and design
Right way is an online network for Indigenous craft and design. Craft Australia created this hub to promote new work and to bring together people with an interest for Indigenous craft and design from across the country.
Using right way is easy. Start by becoming a member then you can post entries, or upload photos, and make new connections. You can start your own group, blog or album where you can talk about your particular work or project.
Introduce yourself to other right way members! and tell us about yourself.

Craft within public architecture
In this issue of ca enews Craft Australia considers the role that craft has played in public architecture. We explore what makes a successful collaboration between craft practitioners and architects and look at the cultural and economic benefits of broadening craft practice into public art. Romaldo Giurgola has argued that in representing Australia, 'art, architecture, and craftsmanship should be intentional, supporting and stimulating elements'.

Call for Papers
Relational Craft and Design - Issue #4 Current Call for papers
Closing Date 30 June 2011
Relational Craft and Design
craft +design enquiry is currently calling for papers that relate to the theme of 'relational craft and design'.
Despite the vigorous debate surrounding the disciplinary parameters and practice roles for craft and design in recent years, their relationship is characterised by wildly divergent interpretations. 'Craft' has become a significant and weighty word again at a time when the meaning of 'design' is shifting both within and outside the visual arts. Today we note everything from drug design to policy design, where 'design' indicates a higher level of consideration, conceptual and strategic thinking. Within this context, contemporary craft might appear as specific and cultural, while design's seeming ubiquity carries certain risks. Read More
