Craft Research 14.2 is out now!

Intellect is pleased to announce that Craft Research 14.2 is out now.

 

This issue engages with the depth of craft making from multiple perspectives. It looks at the process and situatedness of craft by interweaving aspects of materiality, place and nature, of making and metaphor, of motivations and social meanings, and of tradition and heritage with transformation towards the future. The issue reveals how makers seek intrinsic value within and through making, supported by relationships with the natural and the social world.
