ReMakeAlong Survey

Hi Everyone,
Thank you so much for taking part in the #remakingtogether ReMakeAlong Survey. This survey is for people that received kits AND anyone else that joined in making something OR just dipped in and out - all of these are useful points of view.

For some context this research sets out to establish the role that collaborative remaking through Instagram has on creating a sense of personal agency and wellbeing in the face of the climate crisis, the value and position that remaking has within domestic sustainability and the poethical role that remaking has in supporting wellbeing.

Your participation will help develop new understandings and inform how community and craft via digital platforms can have real world impact. If you would prefer to answer this in a face to face interview then please get in touch with me via instagram or email. Any recordings and edited transcripts will be archived securely and may be used as a teaching and research resource or quoted in academic publications. Your anonymity will be maintained throughout.

For any further information please contact me initially via Instagram, or at e.m.collins@brighton.ac.uk.

If you have further questions then you are also welcome to contact my supervisor Nick Gant at n.a.gant@brighton.ac.uk or the Cross School Research Ethics Committee at bream@brighton.ac.uk or you can call 01273 644644 and ask to be connected to the ethic committee.

Best Wishes
Emma

5. Do you feel like your remaking skills have improved/not-improved?

6. Do these skills give you a sense of agency when it comes to thinking about sustainability and your relationships with your clothes?

7. If you do feel a sense of agency through remaking, do you think this impacts your wellbeing in any way?

8. Did following along with #remakingtogether project (including OR excluding the remakealong) make you think of ways that you could use your making skills to develop a more sustainable relationship with your clothes?

9. Do you think you will continue to develop your remaking skills as a result of this project and do you think that remaking in this way will support your wellbeing in any way?
