Flamingo Magazine :: Issue 4

posted by Marcroy March 19, 2013

Flamingo #4 :: The Future Craft Issue pays homage to the potential and pleasure of making. Investigating the craftsmanship of the future, it celebrates both the old with the new and the skilled artisans that create this. In this issue Flamingo meet those who are shaping the future of making and expressing the value of the handmade over the machine-made.

They discover how the artisan’s workshop can combine with industrial technology, with the Unto This Last founder perfecting the marriage of craft and technology; they visit The Thread Wrapping Machine which sees the invention of an entirely new craft, created with its own rules and boundaries.

Proving that craft remains as relevant as ever, they visit the London Centre for Book Arts as it harnesses the educational power of craft while, as the traditional microbrewing scene gains momentum in the UK, they meet with the founders of one of its newest additions, the East London Brewing Company.
Investigating alternative lifestyles, they believe that creativity, community and grassroots culture are the most fascinating things in life.
