On Craftsmanship by Christopher Frayling
In reaction against the global spread of digitisation and de-skilling, there has, in recent years, been a strong renewal of interest in the idea of `craftsmanship’— meaning skill, care, specialisation, making things, tacit knowledge, satisfaction, the close relationship between people and the work they do. This renewal of interest is not about nostalgia—the myth of the happy artisan, the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement—but about giving value to productive work in the contemporary urban world.
