Presentation
Throughout this semester, we will work around operational knowledge, from making to teaching, the processes for selective communication for craftsmanship. Taking as study subjects and personal exploration three different crafts (Weaving, Dyeing with Indigo, Wool Felting), students will be challenged to document, learn and teach/communicate information, in a process that will require permanent reflection on the problematic and the processes of transmission of technical knowledge.

- Observe/Document: observation and recording of the techniques and processes developed by the guest expert, with the aim of developing objects for transmitting knowledge.
- Learn/Do: practical workshops that will provide students with operational knowledge about the techniques, deepening the experience and involvement with the processes to be communicated, resulting from the direct involvement with the technique and with the expert.
- Teaching: the most complex dimension, through which we will actively work on the production of elements for the transmission of operative knowledge, based on learning and the materials resulting from the previous dimensions.
The processes developed and the skills acquired throughout the semester should materialize in a final project for the transmission of technical know-how (operational knowledge), which allows the teaching and replication of the studied technique aimed at a target audience without previous knowledge.

Objectives
Objectives
- Foster contact with other areas of work, in this case essentially connected to small-scale manufacturing in the textile area, as well as experimentation and exploration of dierent crafts.
- Introduction to the specifics of operational knowledge (know-how): To explore ways of collecting, documenting and organizing information; Reflection and study on the production of operative knowledge communication elements; The importance of technical and communicative rigor; Work on the analysis, decomposition, restructuring and (re)creation of information.
- Demonstrate and evaluate the impact of “learning by doing” not only in the acquisition of knowledge, but also in the production of operative knowledge communication elements. Analyze the dierence in results/processes of Observer vs Participant positions.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
— Expansion of the design discipline through the intersection with other disciplines.
— Use of methods and techniques from other disciplines (weaving, tinting, etc), in order to make translations to design.
