Lynn-Sayers McHattie
Prof Lynn-Sayers McHattie acted as a co-investigator for the knowledge exchange hub Design in Action. She is an academic partner with the British Council in Crafting Futures and an inaugural member of the British Council Craft Consortia. She was an academic lead on Innovation from Tradition, as part of the Creative Futures Partnership portfolio and has recently been awarded funding by the Royal Society of Edinburgh to research precarious craft practices. Lynn’s research foregrounds questions around ‘crafting futures’ in the cultural and creative economy. Her research explores craft and textile practices that connect to the indigenous landscape and culture of island communities and the role innovation can play in socio-economic renewal towards informing a wider research agenda on the future of craft practice.
