What a delight to be back at Haystack’s campus and studios, exploring the intersection of cutting-edge technologies and conventional studio craft with incredible makers and thinkers from all around the world as part of Haystack Labs 2024 and 2023.
In 2021, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts partnered with the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms to launch an innovative research program, Haystack Labs. This initiative is designed to foster synergy among artists, designers, material scientists, machine builders, and coders. Together, they converge at Haystack’s campus and studios, exploring the intersection of cutting-edge technologies and conventional studio craft. These initiatives spotlight how artists can deftly meld craft into their work and the ways machine, tool, and software designers can best support creative artisans.
