Documents on Contemporary Crafts is a book series published by Norwegian Crafts in
collaboration with arnoldsche Art Publishers. The series provides a critical reflection of
contemporary crafts in a wider context and in doing so asks questions about the ties between
contemporary craft fine art and design thus helping to redefine the concept of crafts as
such. The five volumes discuss such topics as skills materiality curating collecting
perception and New Materialism. The more than thirty contributors range from leading craft
theorists such as Jorunn Veiteberg Glenn Adamson and Liesbeth den Besten via academics
outside the craft tradition such as Roger L. Kneebone professor of surgical education Trevor
Marchand professor of social anthropology and Margaret Wasz consultant psychological
therapist to emerging voices like Sarah R. Gilbert Marianne Zamecznik and Stephen Knott.
