Craft Culture
Shaping Attitudes through the Medium of Ceramics
What role do crafts play and where do they fit into our lives? Who are the creators and who is the audience? In my thesis, I examine the relevance, locations, practices, creators, creative communities, and consumers of crafts. In addition to considering these examination criteria, I aimed to investigate holistically and explore multiple aspects in my research. With the aim of adhering to formal requirements, I present the examined topics through a single medium: the medium of ceramics, which, in my opinion, attracts some of the widest audiences, with its presence ranging from the academic world to high culture and even everyday consumer culture.
