Power of Making

Daniel Charny

Power of Making

V&A Publishing, 2011

A publication that accompanied the Victoria and Albert Museum and Crafts Council exhibition, Power of Making explores contemporary attitudes towards making and skills. It poses incisive questions about the increasing distance people have from making, and the impact de-skilling and the loss of knowledge of how things are made have on innovation, contemporary and cultural.
