Description/Abstract:

Book review by Rebecca Skeels.

‘Rarely does a good idea come from a digital tool. And most artists define themselves before they start, which also limits these ideas. Better to have an idea and then define the tool required, then there is no difference between artisanal tools and digital ones’ - Wim Delvoye p. 56, Digital Handmade.

Lucy Johnston’s book profiles over 70 practitioners (both individuals and companies) who combine craft with digital technologies. They represent a broad range of makers who work in a variety of scales, materials, contexts and meanings, and the notes on each one of the makers is accompanied by fabulous visuals of great objects. The information about the makers includes the makers’ particular interests, research or focus, showing how varied their approaches to their crafts are and how important it is to select the right tools.
