Interview Questionnaire

I am currently a 4th year student at the Elizabeth Galloway Fashion Academy. I am in the process of conducting research focused on the revival of handmade crafts in South Africa, as well as what the influences are with regards to skills development and the slow fashion movement. To collect all the relevant information I will target the crafters in the handmade craft sector as well as those who makes use of skills development programs in South Africa.
