The Craft Reader presents a comprehensive anthology of writings on modern craft, spanning from the Industrial Revolution to today. Covering a broad range of topics and disciplines, including pottery, weaving, couture, chocolate-making, contemporary art, architecture, and curation, this collection draws on craft practice and theory from around the world. From theoretical writings to how-to texts, feminist histories, and descriptions of innovation in Soviet factories and African auto-repair shops, The Craft Reader offers a unique perspective on the role of craft in modern society. With an astonishing range of classic and contemporary texts, this anthology is invaluable for students and practitioners of craft, as well as readers interested in art and design. Featuring contributions from renowned authors and thinkers, including Anni Albers, William Morris, and Grayson Perry, among others, The Craft Reader provides a rich and diverse exploration of the world of craft.
