Summary Annotation Today when we hear the word 'craft', a whole host of things come immediately to mind: microbreweries, artisan cheeses, and an array of handmade objects. Craft has become so overused, that it can grate our ears as pretentious and strain our credulity. But its overuse also reveals just how compelling craft has become in modern life. Ezra Shales explores some of the key questions of craft: who makes it, what do we mean when we think about a crafted object, where and when crafted objects are made, and what this all means to our understanding of craft.
