The publication documents Morley’s Handicraft Residency with LU Arts at Loughborough University, exploring the pedagogical, technical and embodied knowledge found within workshop spaces and making practices.

The publication acts as both record and reflection—bringing together archival research, technical collaboration and material experimentation to consider how knowledge is carried, shared and felt through acts of making. The project draws from the history of the Handicraft Department at Loughborough Art, revealing how communal tools, workwear and materials accumulate gestures, techniques and traces of technical knowledge.

Hard Wear, Soft Wear situation itself within the broader inquiry into the pedagogical value of technical spaces in art schools.
