Creative Industries: Applied and Traditional Arts

About this book

Objects and traditional expressions tell stories about the people who create and use them. Creative Industries: Applied and Traditional Arts connects artistic practice with the work of artisans, designers, cultural practitioners, and creative enterprises.

The book explores craft, weaving, ceramics, design, and other forms through their materials, techniques, cultural contexts, and production processes. Learners investigate how creative work moves from concept to finished output and reaches communities and markets. Cultural sensitivity, responsible use of traditional designs, safe working practices, and an understanding of creative ownership support thoughtful approaches to making and sharing work.
