Craft involves the application of human skill and invested time.
Some have argued technology has undermined human expertise
by replacing craftwork with automation, disposing of human
ingenuity and proficiency. Can new technologies integrate skill,
materials and labor with the products of craft? How does
technology affect the use and significance of the crafted artifacts?
Conversely, how does the craft process engender cultural value
for creative practitioners? In this poster, I present a research
agenda for the study of craftsmanship in everyday creative
practice through new Information and Communication
Technology (ICT). In the design of new technology, I seek to
support the personal and social value of craft by extending the
skilled work of the creative practitioner.
