Craft research encompasses the study and exploration of traditional and contemporary craft practices, materials, techniques, and cultural significance. This field seeks to understand the role of craft in various societies and how it intersects with other disciplines such as art, design, anthropology, and history. Craft research often involves hands-on experimentation, fieldwork, and critical analysis to gain insights into the creative processes and social contexts of craft production. By examining the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of different communities, craft research aims to promote appreciation and preservation of these valuable traditions.
