    About this ebook

    Craftsmanship has again become fashionable in high places, just as it did in the last few recessions.

    The concept of craftsmanship has never been as relevant and timely as it is today. Assailed on all sides by – among many other tendencies - flexible working, short-termism, portfolio careers, quick-fix training and the cult of celebrity, it has recently re-entered public debate with a new sense of urgency. Why? This series of linked essays by the man who ran the Royal College of Art for many years explores the crafts in education, in history and literature, in the contemporary arts landscape, in the language, in the digital age, and takes an unsentimental, hard-headed look at craftsmanship today. Only when the romantic cobwebs have been blown away, it argues, can the key importance of the crafts be fully understood.

    Author

    Christopher Frayling

    Christopher Frayling is an archivist, a detective, an expert and aficionado and his memoir of Angela Carter in the 1970s gives an unexpected and altogether fascinating sighting of the writer - before anyone could know how epoch-defining her wit and brilliance would be. He then follows twists and turns in some of their shared interests - cartoons, film music, puppets, beasts (especially wolves), vampires, horror and the Gothic - and displays throughout irrepressable energy and detailed knowledge.' Maria Warner author of Stranger Magic: Charmed States and the Arabian Nights
