Thesis Title
Uncovering everyday learning and teaching within the quilting community of Aotearoa New Zealand

Read article at Massey Research Online:

Quiltmakers' everyday ways of learning and teaching are usually invisible, since they are ever-present elements embedded in the quilting community context. Home-sewn quilts are rarely associated with the needleworkers' high level of knowledge and skill; yet, the quilters' act of knowing is practical, inherently social, and intentional. Ms Warner examined the collaborative processes of 'quilting together' to understand cultural patterns, and changes, of participation as quilters contributed to shared quilting endeavours. This study also investigated the participants' meaning-making experiences to facilitate an analysis of collective knowledge practices. The emerging conceptual framework 'Apprenticeship Model of Craft Community Learning' develops and extends participation-based approaches to learning, and introduces the paradigm of trialogical learning. The tacit nature of quilting knowledge requires consideration of the quilters' thinking, learning and development, with regard to their relations and embodied (inter)actions with other people, community, material artefacts and tools, forming a constellation of collective knowledge practices.
