Memory of Textile Crafts is a card game developed as a tool to be used when teaching textile techniques. Louise Ravnløkke and Karen Marie Hasling have developed Memory of Textile Crafts to emphasize active learning in the classroom through interactive and dialogue-based activities. The game can be seen as an advanced version of a traditional memory game, where sets or ‘matches’ are to be made. Here matches are of specific textile techniques.
The aim of the game is to enhance knowledge and awareness of these specific textile techniques in relation to concrete tools used, schematic drawings and pictures of material samples, thus making a match of four connected cards.
The idea behind the memory game has been to propose a tool to support knowledge creation and reflective reasoning when introducing textile materials and textile practices in teaching. Here the wish has been to provide general means to be used to discuss selected techniques and how these might differ by means of for example the way a textile is constructed, and the tools are used.
As a part of the development of the card game, Louise and Karen Marie are now moving into a test phase where they are in search of tutors and textile practitioners to try Memory of Textile Crafts and help out by assessing their experience. Please reach out if you are curious and want to know more.

Memory of Textile Crafts has been developed in connection with the Craft Hub project, which is a European project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme focused on Craft in the context of cultural heritage and its continuing relevance in contemporary practice. Project activities involve investigating and documenting craft skills and processes; their differing application in creative practice in Europe; and the cultural specificity & individual motivations of practitioners. For this purpose, an open-source platform has been developed for sharing knowledge of craft. Find out more on www.crafthub.eu (https://www.crafthub.eu)
