Book Review of A Theory of Craft: Function and Aesthetic Expression

A Theory of Craft: Function and Aesthetic Expression
reviewed on


In this book, Risatti rehashes all of the old theories about why art created using traditional craft materials (fiber, glass, wood, ceramics, etc.) will never be art. If you are interested in the post-modern theory of craft as art, you won't get it here. There is not one single new idea in this whole book. Don't waste your time with this.
