Artisans travelled all over Europe in the pre-modern period, and
they were responsible for many technical innovations and new
consumer products. This volume moves away from the model of
knowledge 'transfer' and, drawing on new understandings of artisan
work, considers the links between artisan creativity and mobility.
Through case studies of different industries, it emphasizes
traditions of migration, the experience of moving, and the stimulus
provided by new economic and work environments. For both male and
female artisans, the weight of these factors varied from one trade
to another, and from place to place.
