The Culture of Craft: Status and Future (Studies in Design and Material Culture)

Everyone needs Peter Dormer (if you are into craft that is)

it is what I need. very good.

Excellent read!

Great condition better than my University library

It is what I expected, lots of points of view on what craft is. A good purchase for the reference shelves.

i love this book a lot. :) this book contains a lot of information about crafts (handmade/ machinery), defintion of craft and its history... all craft-person must read this...

This book is very useful for people who are researching the culture behind crafts and designer-makers. It explains the historical side of crafts well, but mainly focuses on problems faced by modern makers and the social issues of consumerism. Peter Dormer provides a good introduction to the actual meaning of the word 'craft' and its origins. It is a very detailed book and great for writing a craft-related dissertation.

all ok
