Craft in Dialogue - Six Views on a Practice in Change (Paperback)

A collection of six unique essays, this richly illustrated volume explores and discusses the most vital crafts of recent years - with particular focus on the development of Swedish crafts. The authors of the essays in "Craft in Dialogue" examine issues such as the function of crafts in a virtual world, the role of craft wares in a social context, what handmade really means in an age of mass production, and the political potential of arts and crafts. This volume presents a new and unique perspective of crafts in today's multi-cultural, fast-paced, and global environment.
