Folk art and craft approaches have often been revisited by illustrators and incorporated into contemporary practice. As digital tools evolve, the role and meaning of these handmade techniques shift too.

Whether this is already a central part of your practice, or if you are interested in incorporating more handcrafted techniques into your work, it's important to weigh up the practical implications and the context your work fits in to. This downloadable publication written by Saskia Cameron considers ceramics, paper cut illustration and works made with fabrics.

With insightful quotes from illustrators working in the industry, Laura K Sayers, Cáit McEniff and Liv & Dom, offering their perspectives on the work and their business.
