Arts and crafting the past
To craft is to make. At Crafting History, we believe that when we learn history, we are involved in a process of crafting the past, not simply remembering, knowing, or learning it.Â
Â
Crafting History is about bringing agency to learning and resisting narratives that seek to divide us through art, history, craft, and research.Â
​
Crafting History's website is an assemblage of different things; history education, arts-and-crafts, research. You'll find information about how to book on to Crafting History Studio Club, learn about Crafting History Experiences, access Crafting History Resources, as well as the research behind Crafting History.Â
We can all craft historyÂ
Crafting History was founded by Katy Wallace, a history educator with fifteen years' experience teaching in classrooms, tutoring, and at university level. Katy has a PhD in history education and is also an artist. Her work as a teacher, her research, and her art are all interdisciplinary and entangled expression of the past and the present.
