aesthetically pleasing whereas Paul Greenhalgh claims the opposite. He went on
to say that craft is not about fighting against technology yet Caroline Roux
the Acting Editor of Crafts magazine states, ‘Craft has never been more
important than now, as an antidote to mass production and as a practice in
which the very time it takes to produce an object becomes part of its value in
a world that often moves too fast’ (Victoria and Albert Museum, 2012, online).
Roux’s opinion focuses on crafts as a response to mass production and therefore
opposes with Greenhalgh’s definition of traditional crafts. Christopher
Frayling of the Royal College of Art, sums up how difficult it is to define
traditional crafts saying: - ‘If you look up the word ‘craft’ in dictionaries
of phrase and fable, the entry will say ‘see freemasonry’…this is in fact far
from a secret form of knowledge, just a very difficult one to pin down’. This
is why ‘What do you consider to be traditional crafts?’ is a question as it is
interesting and revealing to see how the sample – that represent the public –
perceive traditional crafts. Another question on the questionnaire was ‘Do you
think the government should set aside funding for Crafts?’ I chose this because
public opinion of traditional crafts in particular knitting is varied. A study
carried out by the Arts and Crafts Council showed that public support for the
arts is dropping. 44% of the public thought arts should be funded however in an
earlier study in 2009, 52% of the public said it should be funded (The Craft
Yarn Council, 2011, online). The public’s response could be due to the recent
government’s budget cuts and caps on financial spending. When it comes to
financial distribution among the sectors, the public wanted less money going to
Arts and Crafts and more spent on health and education. This is understandable
but unfortunate, as due to lack of funding a lot of galleries and crafts
workshops have closed. This means that the members of the public that want to
learn a craft are missing out as there is no money to fund the workshops. Asking
this question in the questionnaire established whether more or less people
believe crafts should be funded in today’s society. In the questionnaire I
asked the sample whether they knit or they know someone who knits. The results
of this question show how many people knit in today’s society. For those that
do knit they answered two extra questions. One was ‘How did you become
interested in knitting?’ This question reveals how people hear about knitting
and whether knitting is accessible and being publicised enough. The second
question for the knitters is ‘Do you feel there are psychological benefits to
knitting?’ If the knitting participants answered ‘yes’ then the questionnaire
findings show evidence of knitting having psychological benefits. The last question
on the questionnaire was about the public’s perception of knitting. The
question was, ‘Do you think knitting is negatively perceived in today’s
society?’ If the participant answered ‘yes’ they had an opportunity to answer
another question, ‘What do you think could be done to change this negative
perception?’ This question shed some insight into what could be done to change
people’s opinions of knitting.
