Making and Metaphor

Making and Metaphor A Discussion of Meaning in Contemporary Craft

During the past 30 years, Canadian craft has grown dramatically. However, public perception and mainstream academic study of craft have yet to catch up. This multidisciplinary collection of 18 essays, presented at the symposium "Making and metaphor: a discussion of meaning in contemporary craft", illustrates the complex and significant role of contemporary craft in society. Historical analysis highlights how the fields of education, architecture and industrial design have influenced craft products and our perceptions of them.
