1st tutorial

Points made in my first tutorial that I am going to look into further. also key words.

I need to look at how handmade and digital intersect with each other, as opposed to either/or good/bad. Overlap rather than polarise.

I also need to look at paradoxes within my question.

Physical vs digital over handmade vs digital.

Conceptualise in the intro

There are many types of value I can look into within my essay - artistic, cultural, economic, ethical, aesthetic etc

time = value
Handmade is painstaking and personal

The rise of Pinterest - handmade via digital

Comparative chapter:
Pinterest
Tumblr     - discuss spectres and functions
Etsy

do these platforms allow to display via digital in a way they couldn't before? - blurring the lines

Arts and crafts movement, William Morris - moving away from industrial and towards handcrafted.

Blood, sweat and tears.
