Every discipline is formed, shaped, and re-formed by the texts that constitute its discourse. Craft history is still a nascent discipline, and the texts that describe its boundaries and centers are both significant and yet still hungry for better company.

Each week in this course, we will discuss a few key texts that have impacted craft history, and point towards what could come next.

The course requires active participation and will be shaped like a friendly, conversational book club.
