Reviews

“This splendid collection advances our understanding of embodied cognition and experiential knowledge in craftwork and sets the pace for future theory. Its multidisciplinary cast of authors deliver unique insights into human–material interactions, skilled situated practice and the dynamics of thinking through making – both in traditional crafts and the emerging digital and virtual realms.” Trevor H. J. Marchand, SOAS, University of London “This book shines a light on the nature and value of embodied experiences within the spheres of making and materiality. The various chapters bring ideas around becoming, feeling, well-being, interconnection and relationality to the fore, which are all critical aspects of craft and design practices that seek to counter dominate modes of production and affect positive change. I would recommend this book to those who wish to establish, understand, and champion such practice.” Faith Kane, Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts, Massey University
