Features: The "Craftsmanship Techniques Series" is organized by category, with each volume covering the historical evolution, processes and techniques, and artistic characteristics of a specific craft. Compared to other technique books previously published, this series offers a broader perspective and deeper insights. It examines the form and development of a craft within a specific social context, identifying the social functions of the products, the technical conditions that underpin them, the artistic features they embody, and the historical context of their development. In this way, the study of craft products is elevated to the level of craft culture, introducing readers to the rich humanistic content hidden behind the products. Because the author has incorporated their own practical experiences into every stage of the research, the content of the series goes far beyond a general external description of the objects, offering authentic insights and profound insights that even professional theorists might find difficult to access. Some of the records can only be written by those who have personally practiced them.
