Since the mid-1980s, whimsical, brightly colored wood carvings from the Mexican state of Oaxaca have found their way into gift shops and private homes across the United States and Europe, as Western consumers seek to connect with the authenticity and tradition represented by indigenous folk arts. Ironically, however, the Oaxacan wood carvings are not a traditional folk art. Invented in the mid-twentieth century by non-Indian Mexican artisans for the tourist market, their appeal flows as much from intercultural miscommunication as from their intrinsic artistic merit. In this beautifully illustrated book, Michael Chibnik offers the first in-depth look at the international trade in Oaxacan wood carvings, including their history, production, marketing, and cultural representations. Drawing on interviews he conducted in the carving communities and among wholesalers, retailers, and consumers, he follows the entire production and consumption cycle, from the harvesting of copal wood to the final purchase of the finished piece. Along the way, he describes how and why this "invented tradition" has been promoted as a "Zapotec Indian" craft and explores its similarities with other local crafts with longer histories. He also fully discusses the effects on local communities of participating in the global market, concluding that the trade in Oaxacan wood carvings is an almost paradigmatic case study of globalization.

This book, "Crafting Heritage: A Journey through India's Artistic Traditions," captures the spirit of the traditional crafts of the nation and acts as a bright mosaic in the kaleidoscope of India's cultural legacy. We find ourselves entwined in the elaborate stories of Madhubani Paintings, the ageless appeal of Pashmina Shawls, the delicate craftsmanship of Nirmal Toys, and the rustic beauty of Bamboo Handicrafts as we set out on this adventure. Every chapter serves as a window into the generations-old workmanship, demonstrating the tenacity and inventiveness of Indian craftspeople. We extend an invitation to readers to journey through the historical passages described in the introduction of this book, where Bidriware gleams as a brilliant Deccan heritage and Blue Pottery reflects the cultural interchange along old trade routes. Through delving into the chapters on Cane and Bamboo Weaving, Marble Stone Craft, Saris and Silk, Bandhani, Warli Painting, and other related topics, we uncover the connections that link customs with creativity, legacy with modern significance. Crafting Heritage is a celebration of the hands that define India's creative character, not just a compilation of chapters. It pays homage to the artists who work so hard to create the intricate fabric that is India's cultural heritage with every brushstroke, thread knot, and hand mould. With the aim of fostering a more profound comprehension of the narratives, methods, obstacles, and achievements that characterise India's Crafting Heritage, this book aims to preserve and appreciate these ageless crafts.

"Traditional Craft thrives as an underground stream. Its rejection of dogma generates a mystical path of hermitage and evolution. Its source honours the 'pagan' spirit, presenting to every seeker a devotional path that is the magic of the soul. It speaks of spiritual alchemy, masterfully borne in the crafting of matter. Crafting the Arte of Tradition explores that which was based in the medieval guilds - the rural traditions claimed by craft heritage. More often than not, the Craft remains composed of select conclaves of Horsemen, Toad-men, and other self-styled variants - all heavily focused on family beliefs and faiths founded upon folklore and folk magic. We explore how Real Craft is centred upon the 'Family,' and is the natural repository of hereditary lore passed only between generations: herbal knowledge, place names and origins uses, and local wights amongst many others. These are elements of remnant lore harking back to when each family or 'house' represented a particular skill or guild. So diverse are the many artes, and yet so familiar are their foundations; their medium of expression sought common ground. However, the way in which those 'guild' secrets were disclosed called for certain initiatory rites of passage that stemmed from a shared hereditary root which was based in culture and developing tangible craft traditions pertinent to each. Later, when those guilds disintegrated, the rule simply reverted to kin and was preserved within those same hereditary guild families, (now engaged in finding apprentices for slightly different training). Apprenticeships required sponsorship, and only a family member could undertake that role. Toad men, Horsemen, Cunning Folk et al are described within Crafting the Arte of Tradition - not as an intellectual study, but as a lived tradition!"--Back cover.

“Hypnotic.… [Langlands] begins to see not just the beauty of an object.… but the deeper purpose for which each has been created.” —New York Times Faced with an endless supply of mass-manufactured products, we find ourselves nostalgic for goods bearing the mark of authenticity—hand-made tools, local brews, and other objects produced by human hands. Archaeologist and medieval historian Alexander Langlands reaches as far back as the Neolithic period to recover our lost sense of craft, combining deep history with detailed scientific analyses and his own experiences making traditional crafts. Craft brims with vivid storytelling, rich descriptions of natural landscape, and delightful surprises that will convince us to introduce more craft into our lives.

In the modern world we are becoming bombarded by craft. Hand-made tools, artisan breads and craft beers are all part of a pantheon of goods designed to appeal to our earthier selves, our sense of tradition, quality and luxury, all brought together through a personal touch - objects to savour in a world of meaningless mass manufacture. But once, craft - or more specifically, cræft - meant something very different. When it was first written down in Old English, over a thousand years ago, it had an almost indefinable sense of 'knowledge', 'wisdom' and 'power'. To be cræfty was to be truly intelligent - but in a way that is almost inconceivable to us today. Through a series of mini-histories, detailed craft analyses and personal anecdotes, archaeologist, historian and broadcaster Alex Langlands goes in search of the lost knowledge of cræft. Fusing stories of landscapes, personalities and mesmerising skill, with back-breaking hard work, this book will convince readers - for their health, wealth and well-being - to introduce more cræft into their lives.
