Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article is presented in two parts. Part I is an overview of the sea change in craft studies among scholars, curators, and artists. It also documents the shift of craft history studies into an emerging post-disciplinary field, still at home academically in art schools and university art history departments, but now greatly influenced by anthropology, ethnography, sociology, material culture, critical theory, women’s studies, and other disciplines. In illustrating this shift, the author compares her experience when employed (1976–1997) as museum librarian at the former Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles with the current program of the renamed (Craft Contemporary) museum. She also compares three craft history textbooks. Part II describes the author’s search for teachers of craft history and records the results of a survey conducted in May 2021 of twenty-eight craft history teachers in US and Canadian colleges. The comments are so diverse the author could not summarize them, and she includes excerpts from all who answered the narrative questions. Though gender and race bias in craft studies must still be confronted, as in art history studies as a whole, the teaching of craft history is moving toward a global perspective. However, the practical need to break down the global into more manageable parts is a pedagogical and bibliographic challenge.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
