Abstract:

The Municipal Museum of Penafiel recently implemented an experience to stimulate the traditional crafts. It revealed that the tinsmith craft-deeply rooted in the city and district since the end of the 18th century-is at risk of vanishing, since only one professional craftsman remains, already retired. Such urgency led us to seek to document the activity, namely in the municipality, in order to construct a reading of this historical path, focusing on working dynamics and transmission of traditional skills, from the 18th century guilds to the Estado Novo (1933-1974).

India's production of fine luxury and craft goods for world markets was discovered and exploited by Europeans in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Textile producers in Gujarat, the Coromandel Coast, and Bengal applied fine craft skills to European designs, colour codes, and textile lengths and widths. Through the intervention of the East India Companies and private traders as well as their intermediaries, brokers and local merchants, weavers, and printers produced the goods to satisfy Western markets just as they had done for Eastern and African markets in the centuries before.Today In

In Hutsul region, due to many historical circumstances and peculiarities of the natural and geographical environment, a specific way of managing the locals was formed; home crafts and handicrafts were developed.The process of formation and development of Hutsul crafts is inextricably linked with the life of the mountaineers, who almost completely provided themselves with consumer goods. The availability of natural raw materials and the remoteness from industrial centres encouraged locals to engage in pottery, weaving, producing furniture, utensils, brass, clothing, lizhnyky (blankets of wool)

Abstract:

Scottish-London connections for training and prestige are developed in the first chapter, which looks at Edinburgh and the production of luxury craft goods for elite consumers, a market stimulated by the building of the New Town residential area and the growing presence of wealthy short-term visitors and tourists. The transition of craft firms from Old Town to New Town premises is considered. A case illustration of the cabinet making and furniture trades, including fancy box making, in and around the city shows how businesses were organized and changed and some of the key craft skills that underpinned evolving enterprises. The role of spatial concentrations and multiple connections between small firms and between craftsmen as employers and employees is explored.

Abstract:

This chapter looks to the experience of compositors (those workers who set the type) who lost their traditional printing trade when computer typesetting technologies were introduced. The transition away from hot-metal typesetting is not a deterministic story of technological inevitability. It is part of a broader economic and political shift; the move away from a protectionist manufacturing economies, into neoliberal service economies geared towards international markets. What happened to the workers who were pulled along with this transition? And how important was the material and embodied nature of traditional typesetting in this loss of a trade? For these compositors, the introduction of computers resulted in a profound loss of control, and the only way to regain that control did not appear to be in the collective security of unions, nor in the skills built up from a life of work in printing. In the 1980s, former hot-metal compositors used individual initiative; they no longer found security in the old collective practices, craft traditions and camaraderie that had once characterised their workplace. This emerging social and economic regime profoundly changed these compositors’ identities, as well as their attitudes to technology, skill and collectivity.

Abstract:

Protecting and preserving the knowledge and skills of traditional crafts is a growing challenge. Further, ensuring a sustainable livelihood to artisans working in these traditional crafts is a tall order. Section one of the chapter explores the traditional tribal art form widely practised among a semi-nomadic tribe in the north-west region of India. Section two of the chapter examines the role of a not-for-profit organization involved in the revival of the ancient Lambani craft. Sabala- an organization located in one of the districts in Southern India has been working on the revival and preservation of Lambani embroidery. At Sabala, crafts are designed to enhance the creative appeal of products for the local and global market, as well. The integration of both, the creative design and the execution of craft in the hands of the artisans can ensure ingenuity in the craft form and not reduce the craft worker to a mere labourer.

Abstract:

In the early 1920s the artist Ben Nicholson and his first wife Winifred Dacre moved to the edge of the English-Scottish border. Within a rugged terrain traditionally imagined as primitive, elemental, and romantic, a culture of crafts and especially of textile production emerged to which artists such as the Nicholsons were to contribute, but which was dependent on increasingly modernising traditions and the skills of resident makers and designers from each side of the border. Ysanne Holt concentrates in this chapter upon the specificity of this place in the 1920s and 1930s, exploring diverse connections between artists, crafts-people, designers, and manufacturers, the training and experience of workforces and the developing networks that crossed from rural to urban contexts within the region and beyond. She discovers a ‘borderland’ aesthetic that brought traditional skills into line with new technologies and combined national and international sources with local histories and heritage.

Abstract:

This chapter shows how the Irish Arts and Crafts movement introduced a bold new aesthetic in the visual arts that scandalised orthodox opinion. The early years of the twentieth century saw a renewed focus on the applied arts – including metalwork, stained glass, tapestries, and printed materials – designed and made for Catholic churches, state buildings, even domestic patrons. Such art reflected existing tensions between conservatism and innovation, by turns echoing and challenging competing cultural nationalist views. The work of Harry Clarke, Evie Hone, the Cuala Press, and others combined traditional materials, skills, and Irish symbolism with innovative aesthetics and sometimes shocking or offensive scenes of modern Irish life. Though church and state institutions that had briefly supported such cultural nationalist work ultimately came to view it as heretical, the chapter demonstrates the profound influence of such work on Irish visual arts modernism.

Abstract:

Venice can be regarded as a test bed for any preservation strategy. From its very origins, the city has always had to withstand hostile environmental conditions, such as unstable soil, overflowing tides, and rising damp. Hence traditional materials and techniques are the result of a thousand-year-old selection aimed at improving their durability. Since the end of the nineteenth century, however, historical surfaces have been progressively replaced by new short-lasting plasters, following the trend of systematic refurbishment meant to maximize economic output with disregard for good practices.

The existence of earthen domed houses constructed of mud bricks has been attested for at least 5000 years in Syria. Earthen villages are most extensive and recognized as some of the richest Earthen Villages in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This construction technique which has been perpetuated in the region without discontinuity is currently experiencing a painful decline. Only a handful of master masons still have the know-how necessary to build the domes. It is therefore to be feared that, after centuries of transmission, the experience and skills of these craftsmen will disappear

The paper focuses on characterizing a current design trend —sometimes called neo-craftsmanship— that uses manual processes to create unique objects. About a century ago, pioneers of modern architecture and design pushed their primary trend towards prototypes definition in their massive industrial —mechanical and serial— production. Nowadays, an opposite impulse can be identified looking for monotypes definition —single products or from limited series—, with high manual intervention and capable of being customized to assume the individuality of each user.
