On Craftsmanship: Towards a new Bauhaus by Christopher Frayling
In reaction against the global spread of digitisation and de-skilling, there has, in recent years, been a strong renewal of interest in the idea of `craftsmanship meaning skill, care, specialisation, making things, tacit knowledge, satisfaction, the close relationship between people and the work they do.
