Description
Book Introduction
"What is Craft?" is a full-fledged craft theory book that explores the meaning of modern craft, encompassing both practical and pure crafts, from pure arts such as metal, ceramics, textiles, glass, and woodwork, to design products from the Bauhaus to Memphis, and attempts various discourses to establish craft as an academic discipline.
This book is a reprint of an out-of-print book. It has been translated and proofread four times, making it newer and more sophisticated than the previous version.
