By conducting participant observation, in-depth interviews, and the diary method, I found that while the profiles of “craft workers” or “craftspeople” are favoured by the recent waves of self-employed craft workers in Jingdezhen, these workers do not fully identify as craftspeople, traditionally characterised by their professionalism, perfectionism, enthusiasm, and persistence; nor as artists. Instead, they are positioned in between different identities, such as traditional craftsman, workman, artist-crafts worker, and artist. I argue that the wavering between different identities according to the occasion and targeted audience not only allows self-employed craft workers in Jingdezhen to escape from the monotonous routines and patriarchal norms of the older generations’ craft conventions, but also facilitates a re-configuration of craft identities within a craft industry that is changing. Secondly, I found that creativity is emphasised in their self-positioning and becomes an alternative means of achieving recognition, status and mobility in Jingdezhen’s craft industry. Based on these discussions, the study provides a fuller picture of a new form of craft labour developing in Jingdezhen.","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135539840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It ends with a film showing her reassembled loom in action. This bookending of the show with the hand weaver’s instrument emphasizes the traceability of material, and the possibilities of its making with various stages of change. Albers talks in her writing about the material possibilities of speculation, and the slow physical realization of work. She describes herself as being led by thread, “an active process, ... a listening for the dictation of the material and a taking in of the laws of harmony.” For Albers, who described weaving as “the event of the thread,” the actions of weaving set ideas in motion as a way of questioning and conceptualizing our being present in the world. This major exhibition at Tate Modern is without question the event both of the thread and of Albers, compelling in its color, intensely realized through complex weave structures, multiple grids, meandering lines and layered surfaces. In what is remarkably the first major showing of Albers’ work, the exhibition draws attention to the overlooked contribution of women artists and of applied artistic practice, both historically relegated as subsidiary to the fine arts. It reclaims the importance of women’s practice through this pioneering artist’s work—who, as a woman, was directed into weave at the Bauhaus—but also in the curatorial team: Ann","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17496772.2019.1568036","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60111015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Richards (1916–1999), and Susan Peterson (1925–2009). The wider context of the discussion creates a bold and compelling argument linking their activities to the performative and participatory practices of the avant-garde: not a place where studio pottery often sits. Admittedly, two of the women had connections with that quintessential institution of the avant-garde in the United States, Black Mountain College in North Carolina, but the approaches of all three were arrived at autonomously and move on in different directions. These women, it is argued, can be seen as proto-feminists. None are strongly identified with the feminist polemics of the third quarter of the twentieth century; rather, they are independent thinkers and doers, ploughing their own furrow. All three were practicing potters making functional vessels, but their pottery features only modestly in the canon of ceramic art. Their significance, Sorkin proposes, lies in a commitment to clay work as a holistic life experience, which they fostered through teaching, writing, and lifestyle choices.","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17496772.2018.1493793","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60110971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His research has traversed areas of making from Minaret building and apprenticeship in Yemen to research at the Building Crafts College, London where he apprenticed himself on a course in fine woodwork. Validating his research through practice, he has become a touchstone for many writers on the crafts. In 2013, he convened a two-day workshop at the “Making Futures” conference in Plymouth, entitled “Craftwork as Problem Solving,” and the outcomes and papers given at this have formed the outline of this volume. The book has thirteen chapters written by “a cross-disciplinary group, consisting of designer makers, artists, an architect, a filmmaker and several anthropologists of craft,” who were invited to “examine the ways that problems are encountered, searched for, conceived of, and resolved in craft” (p. 1). Marchand describes how the term “Craft” is polythetic: the subjects in this book may be described as such, sharing “some but not necessarily all the properties” (p. 8) that Marchand attributes to the crafts: it is indeed very wideranging, from the craft of training Suffolk Punch horses to a chapter on the place of craft in building conservation. Marchand states that his “longer term objectives as an anthropologist (are) to better grasp how craftspeople come to","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17496772.2018.1493788","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60111371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
