Beschreibung:
Charlotte Abrahams is a writer and curator specializing in design and the applied arts. She trained at Central St Martin's and since then has written regularly for the national and international press, including Guardian Weekend and the Financial Times. She is the author of several books about pattern and wallpaper and one on the Danish concept of Hygge. She is less good at making than the people she writes about, but she is teaching herself to darn.
Recent years have seen a decline in craft and creative education in schools and a shift from practical to theoretical learning models in higher education.
