Sammendrag
Practitioners of craft have throughout human history contributed in the shaping of society. Craftspeople have received modest research attention – however, they are an important clog in running the wheels of society. Someone needs to create, fix, mend and repair – perhaps now more than ever – as climate and waste problems are numerous. In this paper, we look closer at how an STS understanding on the concept of craft can contribute to understanding the complex socio-technical tacit knowledge embedded in craft professions. Through multiple understandings of craft, what it is, what it does, and who does it, we explore hands-on, and bottom-up knowledge making.
