Features: The "Craftsmanship Techniques Series" is organized into thematic volumes. Each volume generally includes sections on the historical evolution, processes and techniques, and artistic characteristics of a particular category. Compared to other technique books previously available, this series offers a broader perspective and deeper insight. It examines the formation and development of a category within a specific social context, the social functions of the products, the technical conditions they are based on, the artistic features they embody, and the historical conditions that facilitate their development. In this way, the study of craft varieties is elevated to the level of craft culture, guiding readers to explore the rich humanistic content hidden behind the products. Because the author has incorporated her own practical experiences into every stage of the research, the content of the series goes far beyond a superficial external description of the objects, offering genuine insights and profound insights that even professional theorists may find difficult to access. Some records can only be written by those who have personally practiced them.
