Craftmanship can be applied to a range of design related processes where by there is a need to produce or give birth to an idea in the real world. For instance, Michel Angelo's artistry was what brought the Cistine Chapel Ceiling Frescos' alive. Craftmanship is necessary in Arts, Design and Architecture. An architect can for instance hire a model maker to develop a fully detailed model of his or her design. The portray of the idea relies on the skills of the craftsman and the quality of his or her craftmanship. The design itself is the architect's yet the production and full realization of the project relies in totality on a varied set of crafmanships that introduce different professions and different craftsmen. For example the model maker, the tile designer, the furniture designer, the welder, the builder, and more recently the coder. Very often a craftmanship requires a feedback loop between making and designing. Consequently a craftsman is required to use their creative capacities to reproduce an idea or a set of ideas that together formulate a project.

Definition

Craftmanship refers to a skill in a particular craft. It can also refer to the quality of design in something made or buil by hand. Craftmanship plays an important role in Design, Art and Architecture. Without craftmanship it would be impossible to realise ideas, in a careful and sensitive manner. Craftmanship is the perfection of a skill to the point when it becomes fully mastered by the craftsman and through which the craftsman can introduce and realise ideas into the real world.

Motivation & Background

Craftmanship's theoretical framework develops around creativity and making [1].(reasoning, Intellectual background Why is it important? value of something hand made . role in history.) The craft is taught by a master to his or her students during an apprenticeship period. The apprentice perfects his skill and then becomes the master and teaches the craft to the next generation of craftsmen. Carpentry and Tattooing for instance is are craftmenships very often taught through apprenticeship.

Application

Craftmanship can be applied to a range of design related processes where by there is a need to produce or give birth to an idea in the real world. For instance, Michel Angelo's artistry was what brought the Cistine Chapel Ceiling Frescos' alive. Craftmanship is necessary in Arts, Design and Architecture. An architect can for instance hire a model maker to develop a fully detailed model of his or her design. The portray of the idea relies on the skills of the craftsman and the quality of his or her craftmanship. The design itself is the architect's yet the production and full realization of the project relies in totality on a varied set of crafmanships that introduce different professions and different craftsmen. For example the model maker, the tile designer, the furniture designer, the welder, the builder, and more recently the coder. Very often a craftmanship requires a feedback loop between making and designing. Consequently a craftsman is required to use their creative capacities to reproduce an idea or a set of ideas that together formulate a project.
