Tweave is a fascinating project through which an archive of the sounds of arts and craftspeople making is being created.

There are already some wonderfully obscure recodings on the website already including Robin Shelton sawing bone to make a piece of jewellery and Felicity Ford’s Crafting with rubbish and waste and plastic bottles.

I also discovered that my friend and colleague Philippa Lawrence has recorded some lovely sounds of her at work tearing and rolling fabric in preparation for binding trees:

You can take part by uploading your own sounds to the Tweave map via the project website using Audioboo: www.tweave.co.uk. Having recently started to make recordings of my own, albeit not of my making, I’m sure it won’t be long before I make a contribution to the Tweave archive.

Tweave was created by Amy Houghton and Ed Holroyd and commissioned by Craftspace.
