New Journal

This summer, MDPI are launching Crafts (ISSN 3042-8718), a peer-reviewed, open access scholarly journal that publishes on all aspects of craft research, such as the design, preservation, exhibition and making of designed objects, artworks, and artifacts; the market for it; and education on it. The journal aims to explore and challenge the boundaries of craft research as a vital contributor to cultural, technological and societal innovation. Papers are accepted, inter alia, in the following fields: Traditional craftsmanship and folkcraft; Material Culture; Tools; Digitalization and globalization of crafts; Education and apprenticeships; Economics and societal aspects of craftsmanship. APC waivers may be available.

The joint editors-in-chief will be Prof. Dr Sarah Kettley, School of Design, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and former SIEF President Prof. Dr Ullrich Kockel, Institute for Northern Studies, University of the Highlands and Islands, Inverness, Scotland.
