CRITICAL CRAFT

From Oaxacan ceramic workshops to dessert kitchens in provincial France, Critical Craft presents thirteen ethnographies which examin e what defines and makes craft in a wide variety of practices from around the world. Challenging the conventional understanding of c raft as a survival, a revival, or something that resists capitalism, the book turns instead to the designers, DIY enthusiasts, tradi tional artisans, and technical programmers who consider their labour to be craft, in order to comprehend how they make sense of it.
