Much discourse about craft has been focused on the hands of the artisan, or the “tacit” knowledge used by the maker, but as crafters collaborate in a larger extent some other perspectives could be of use, especially since the surrounding environment seems to take a more active involvement in the production than the mere maker. Increasing Internet prevalence has made this even more obvious, as do-it-yourself instruction and the sharing of skills are abundant in craft forums online, blurring the borders between influences, makers, and situated modes of production. This article examines some concepts and metaphors by which some of the potentials of craft collaborations could be understood. Combining theories of cognition from super-organisms like ant colonies and their “bodyhood” with the “capabilities approach” of Amartya Sen and the concept of educational sloyd, the text builds an associative framework for a perspective on how collaborations actualize new craft capabilities. In conclusion, the article proposes a wider understanding of do-it-yourself activities as a shared endeavor toward expanded collaborative capabilities; do-it-together rather than yourself.","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2013-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2752/174967813X13703633980731","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69322601","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}

The group's key constants were not its members, but rather the creators behind the Droog Design label: art historian Renny Ramakers and designer Gijs Bakker. Together they were responsible for not only the planning and organization of projects and the thematic content of presentations, but also for defining the significance of Droog. From the very outset, that significance was propounded in books, articles, lectures, and media presentations. This promotional material has generally been accepted at face value by the trade and popular presses and design industry. In many cases it was not until later that the designers' true aims were revealed in the individual work of participants. And yet the intentions driving Droog Design during its formative initial years have remained obscure. This article sheds light on the real significance of these first years, and compares this to the official reading given by Droog Design itself. The conclusion interprets the place of craft in Droog Design's work, within this new perspective on their ambitions.","PeriodicalId":41904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Craft","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2752/174967810X12774789403528","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69322516","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}
