debate alive rather than the audience’s opinion. In conclusion, within the art
world traditional crafts are valued by some, apart from certain artists it
would seem, and those that like a clear definition of art. E.J.T. Collins book ‘Crafts in the English
Countryside: Towards a Future’ comments on the gap between craft and art
getting smaller by saying, ‘In terms of utility, the rural crafts tend to be
functional rather than decorative, although the gap between ‘vernacular’ and
‘creative’ is closing as crafts such as blacksmithing and basket-making turn
increasingly to original design work’. Craft is adapting and changing making it
still valuable. ‘Craftsmanship combined with entrepreneurship – is well adapted
to the needs of post-industrial society’ (2004, p.15). Collins is supporting
this theory by saying that crafts have adapted to survive in a machine-led
world. Another aspect of
traditional crafts that could be classed as Art would be its role in a movement
called ‘Craft Activism’. This is worldwide and includes any sort of crafts used
as a statement for a cause. For instance, an organisation called ‘Quilting for
Peace’ uses the craft of quilting to raise money for charity while using images
within their quilts to promote peace. Also the before mentioned knitting
graffiti founded by Magda Sayeg also known as ‘Drive-by-knitting’ or ‘Knit
Bombing’. Some graffiti knitters like Sayeg graffiti knit as a socio-political
statement, other graffiti knitters say they do it to liven up a dull part of
town or to just brighten someone’s day by making them smile. Surely this sort
of Craft Activism should be considered Art, since it is non-functioning pieces
being designed but work that has ‘something’ behind it, a complexity, like more
traditional artwork. This sort of traditional craft surely proves its value in
today’s society by making people think and commenting on society. To keep a check on traditional crafts value
from a knitting point of view, it is the knitting machine that has kept
knitting commercial however hand knitting is still used for bespoke designs
within the fashion industry. As described in ‘The art of knitting’ by Fran Oise
Tellier-Loumagne, ‘The hand-made look regularly returns in seasonal fashion
trends; for this reason, the Parisian couture houses all maintain a network of
‘makers’, who may use hand-knitting, domestic machine-knitting, crochet,
embroidery or other techniques’(2005, p.8). Knitting, like many other
traditional crafts has adapted and changed with the times, to stay relevant.
Loumagne goes on to explain about the constant progression in the knitting
world, ‘Knitting is no longer created just length ways but in all directions;
structures are becoming more and more complex…In fact, production hardware is
increasingly high-performance: the newest knitwear is now made in three
dimensions, meaning without seams, and often includes complex details’(2005,
p.9). These sort of technological advances are keeping knitwear at the
forefront of fashion, as designers come up with more intricate and innovative
designs each year. At the same time, these sorts of advances; while promoting
knitting it could see negative effects on hand knitting as a technique. Hand
knitting is more time consuming, requires more workers and can be more costly
than machine knitting. These sort of ‘production’ proble
