HANDMADELIFE is an ongoing creative collaboration between Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson.

They are independent writers, makers and thinkers specialising in craft and design. They are bloggers, curators, broadcasters and the authors of The Craft Companion the new, definitive craft bible published globally by Thames and Hudson AU.

As part of their residency project at the ATW they explored ideas surrounding the collaborative process, which reflected not only their practice but the ethos of the workshop itself. This culminated in a collaborative work, the process of which was documented online and in audio podcast format. Through their public talk they will share not only the finished work but give insight into the process of collaboration through observation, learning, communication and execution throughout the residency.
