Offering a challenging new argument for the collaborative power of
craft, this ground-breaking volume analyses the philosophies,
politics and practicalities of collaborative craft work. The book
is accessibly organised into four sections covering the cooperation
and compromises required by the collaborative process; the
potential of recent technological advances for the field of craft;
the implications of cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural
collaborations for authority and ownership; and the impact of
crafted collaborations on the institutions where we work, learn and
teach. With cutting-edge essays by established makers and artists
such as Allison Smith (US) and Brass Art (UK), curator Lesley
Millar, textile designer Trish Belford and distinguished thinker
Glenn Adamson, Collaborating Through Craft will be essential
reading for students, artists, makers, curators and scholars across
a number of fields.
