Summary:
This book is a timely and engaging introduction to the way that artists working in all media think about craft. Workmanship is key to today's visual arts, when high 'production values' are becoming increasingly commonplace. Yet craft's centrality to contemporary art has received little serious attention from critics and historians. Dispensing with clichéd arguments that craft is art, Adamson persuasively makes a case for defining craft in a more nuanced fashion. The interesting thing about craft, he argues, is that it is perceived to be 'inferior' to art. The book consist of an overview of various aspects of this second-class identity, supplementarity, sensuality, skill, the pastoral, and the amateur. It also provides historical case studies analyzing craft's role in a variety of disciplines, including architecture, design, contemporary art, and the crafts themselves. Thinking through Craft will be essential reading for anyone interested in craft or broader visual art.

Seuls pourraient être troublés les professionnels des plantes à fibres car ils ne trouveront ici nul chloroplaste ni étamine. Et pourtant la description envoûtante de l’hybride mupi (genre Monitor, chapitre 10) ou celle de la variété tropicale de l’Hydra terminalis umida (genre Hydra, chapitre 3) saura les séduire par un sentiment de familiarité a priori peu évident.
