The European Crafts Alliance and the sector it stands for
Ana Kuntarič Brodersen
Craft exists in a space between tradition and change. A Slovak drotár twisting wire by hand is not preserving something old, but continuing a living practice. In a studio in Barcelona, a ceramicist experimenting with digital glazes is part of that same continuum. Craft never stands still. It flows. But so does the world. And for craftspeople, that brings increasing pressures. Being a maker today also means being an entrepreneur, a communicator or, at times, an accountant.
