Aspects of the best Technological Crafts Design Practice

Young designers and selling agents of their creations are triggering conversion of handcrafts. It depicts a new relationship between design and craft. Technological Crafts Design" refers to an experimental approach to new visions, to reclaim possession of handcrafting as a tool of concept, of production, of the ability to control the various stages of production and characterization of the increasingly advanced products. As crafts, techniques, and expressions change, attention must be paid to the relationship between technical knowledge and design, manual ability, and creative process. This new form of self-production was carried out by young designers who made their mark in London in the 1990s, in Chelsea district, where the Art & Crafts council1 has sponsored many "crafts" projects, rewarding a group of young British designers with a strong desire for experimentation, probably originating from Anglo-Saxon German teaching method. Technological craft design is an experimental approach where the craft designer is free to experiment with new materials& techniques, to improve the self-production trend.

Research Problem:

Due to global economic that calls for self-production, Technological Craft Design is becoming a necessity. To succeed in the design of self-producing products, designers must have skills in certain aspects. This research is to answer that question:

What are the Aspects of the best Technological Craft Design Practice?

Research aim:

The research aims to assist young technological craft designers in becoming successful at making self-producing artefacts by highlighting the aspects that can help them achieve their innovation craft goals.
