Twist and Roll

In an increasingly digital environment, Camille Champion wants to revive our interest in traditional manual craftmanship. During her stay in South Korea, she mastered the age-old technique of Jiseung. This weaving craft dating from the Joseon Dynasty uses old books and paper to create basketry. To prevent this cultural heritage from vanishing, Camille introduced it into a modern Western context: her own primary school in France. She created a small weaving guide for the children, who learned to make their own paper threads from old newspapers, weave them on a loom and build a tent-like structure for their classroom. Stimulating sustainability, creativity, manual skills and teamwork, ‘Twist and Roll’ showcases how the educational system can benefit from crafts.
