HÅNDVÆRK bookazine shows aesthetic products created by human hand. Through features and interviews with the practising, dedicated craftsmen, artisans and designers, the focus is on the importance of knowledge of materials and processes as a prerequisite for a sustainable practice.

Bookazine no. 10 will introduce you to practising artists and theirwork as well as the artisans and craftspeople whose knowledge and skills make their artistic production possible. You will also meet an art academy rector, a museum director and a gallery owner and visit the artist community in the Finnish village of Fiskars.

In my talk with designer Birgitte Due Madsen, she introduces her materials-based approach, which she calls ‘from one-of-a-kind to more-of-a-kind’. With this, she taps into a long tradition of artists and craft makers alternating between creating unique works of art and collaborating with companies that put their pieces into serial production.
