The purpose of this course is for students to explore the application of traditional crafts and contemporary craft practices for healthcare and personal wellbeing. Students will acquire rudimentary competence with a wide variety of creative media; articulate how the repetitive or structured processes of craft activities make them ideal for community-based and personal health projects; blend creative expression with functional outcomes; apply creative media concepts to a range of case studies and hands-on activities; and, create and present a creative piece of their own design.
