The journal covers craft in all its historical and contemporary manifestations. It starts in the mid-nineteenth-century when handwork was first consciously framed in opposition to industrialization and follows through to the present day when ideas confined to the 'applied arts' have become crucial across a huge range of cultural activities.
Special emphasis is placed on studio practice, and on the transformations of indigenous forms of craft activity throughout the world. The journal also reviews and analyzes the relevance of craft within new media, folk art, architecture, design, contemporary art, and other fields. "The Journal of Modern Craft" is the main scholarly voice on the subject of craft, conceived both as an idea and as a field of practice in its own right.
