The Colour4CRAFTS blog is a research outlet that primarily functions to engage in knowledge exchange related to the project’s research methods, progress, and activities. The blog will also include contributions that highlight archival and experimental research findings related to dyeing and colouration practices, the inclusion of interdisciplinary fields of research and methodologies, the development of pedagogical practices related to craft skills and dyeing techniques, and the various processes of scientific analysis used within the project. The blog will consist of monthly contributions from the project’s researchers, students, partners, and stakeholders. The blog is overseen by the Colour4CRAFTS Principal Investigator, Riikka Räisänen, and the Project Coordinator, Dustin M. Neighbors, serves as the blog’s Editor-in-Chief.

The Colour4CRAFTS podcast is an engagement platform aimed at interacting and exchanging knowledge with our diverse audiences as a way of highlighting the research and enhancing the project’s relevance. Each podcast episode seeks to uncover the meanings of colour, showcase the connections between colours and textile production, craft skills, and heritage practices, and explore the experiences and future of colour within wider society by highlighting the project's research activities, project results, and public events. As such, each monthly episode will feature discussions and interviews with the various project researchers, industry experts, and members of the public that are involved throughout the course of the Colour4CRAFTS project.
Along with the project's website, Colour4CRAFTS’ social media channels and outreach platforms will operate as the central method of communication and engagement with crafters and industry experts, the general public, enthusiasts, and industry stakeholders, as well as the project's researchers and partners. In addition to the platforms indicated above, Colour4CRAFTS can be found on the following social media channels:
