Costume Society of America Western Region Virtual Symposium | October 3, 2020In an artisan’s practice of traditional handcraft technique there can exist difficulties with adapting contemporary technologies and materials, especially if there is not a great amount of overlap with their existing technique. If, however, conditions exist where the contemporary technologies and materials are in some way resonant or familiar to the artisan’s existing tools and materials, they may then experience more ease with adapting to these technologies and materials (Du Puis, 2018). In this study, part of a master’s thesis on the integration of traditional techniques with contemporary technologies and materials in handcraft, the researcher explored how a traditionally trained artisan learns and uses contemporary technologies in their practice.
