This book focusses on the role of craft as a continuing cultural
practice and the revival of disappearing skills in contemporary
society. It includes twenty-five essays by highly regarded
artisans, academics, technologists, entrepreneurs, businesspeople,
curators, and researchers from many countries representing a wide
range of global craft traditions and innovations. The authors
explain their professional practices and creative pathways with
knowledge, experience, and passion. They offer insightful analyses
of their traditions within their culture and in the marketplace,
alongside the evolution of technology as it adapts to support
experimentation and business strategies. They write about teaching
and research informing their practice; and they explain the
importance of their tools and materials in function and form of the
objects they make. The essays reveal a poignant expression of their
successes, disappointments, and opportunities. This book offers
case studies of how artisans have harnessed the traditions of the
past alongside the latest design technologies. The authors reveal
how global craft is not only a vehicle for self-expression and
creativity, but also for being deeply relevant to the world of
work, community and environmental sustainability. The book makes
the vital link between skills, knowledge, education, and
employment, and fills a much-needed niche in Technical, Vocational
Education and Training TVET.
