Studio craft movement
The Studio Craft movement emerged in the mid-20th century as a shift in the craft and ceramics worlds, emphasizing individual artistry and hands-on craftsmanship. Artists focus on creating work in personal, studio settings rather than mass production or large workshops. This movement values the artist’s skill, creativity, and personal expression, often blending traditional techniques with innovative ideas. It promotes a connection between maker and object, highlighting craftsmanship's artistic and cultural importance. Overall, Studio Craft encourages artists to produce unique, thoughtfully made objects that celebrate the process of creation and personal vision.
