I had read an article about craft. There are a lot of traditional crafts in the world, and all this crafts are require to make by hand without laying machine.
Sebastian Cox is the person who talk about this article, and I understand a lot of things from this article. The motivation that he has in design with craft is he want to use a good design to give the trees an economic value. Most of his craft are make by wood so he is trying to show how beautiful the hardwoods are. He is also looking for a new prospect and he want to learn and draw inspiration from it.
Craft is representing the engagement with object and materials. So if we can develop a product that possesses subtle evidence of craft, customer will enjoy that things all the more.
The craft that I want to choose is Nyonya beadwork. Beside then skill, you need to have a lot of patience when you making this type of craft. Nowadays everything are make by machine but this type of craft cannot relay on machine. All this craft are design by a people and make by a people. But I think this type of craft can use in more place or things. For example, maybe a fashion designer can learn this type techniques and apply on their design or draw inspiration from it. Just like what Cox said " We can learn so much from the past that is useful to take forward, especially when thinking about a sustainable future."
