Drawn from the Mint Museum of Art’s renowned permanent collection
of craft and design in all media—ceramic, pottery, wood, metal,
glass, fibre, textiles and design—Craft in the Laboratory
highlights how contemporary artists use STEM (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics) processes and principles when creating
their work. Kate Malone’s knowledge of the chemistry of clay
bodies and glazes is employed in her production of sculptures such
as Mr. and Mrs. Tutti Atomic. Douglas Harling made Vishnu Dreams
using the ancient technique of granulation, aided by his
understanding of the roles of surface tension, oxygen reduction,
and eutectic bonds in fusing gold granules to a surface. Zoltán
Bohus carefully planned the layers of glass in Stratofera on paper
before creating it, using his knowledge of geometry and the
prismatic qualities of glass. The volume includes essays that
discuss the technical aspects of materials and processes.
