Workshop with Sanne Visser

A material explorer, Sanne combines craft with innovation through her ropes and nets made using ancient techniques to spin human hair. Here, she demonstrates some work in progress, and sets a design brief focused around redesigning the home to suit new living conditions. Download Sanne's design challenge below!

• Radical Matter - by Caroline Till & Kate Franklin

'An incredibly inspiring book which explores all sorts of unusual materials (besides human hair). Not only looks at the materiality, but also the production processes, ethical aspects, social impacts etc. The whole cycle!'

• Why Materials Matter - by Seetal Solanki

'Similar to the previous one, but not any less amazing!! Insights of what the materials and properties are and how the techniques. Wonderful imagery too!'

• Crafts Council Magazine digital archive

'Showcasing the most talented craftsman out there, now in full access online during this period only. Grab the chance!'

• MacGuffin Magazine

'Focused on one topic at the time, detailed and in depth plus beautifully designed and visualised.'

• The Little Inventors Handbook - by Dominic Wilcox

'It is known as a children's book, but I think it is definitely also a fun inspiration for adults. Also great inspiration for the design brief.'
