Studio craft

The Studio Craft Meets Design gallery at the Milwaukee Art Museum

Studio craft, or the studio craft movement, is the practice of craft methodology in an artist's or designer's studio. In contrast to traditional craft, which is done by craftsmen like cabinet makers or Ceramicists in a professional workshop, studio craft is when a designer or artist, who may have a more general understanding of any specific craft, produces objects themselves out of their own studio. Studio craft objects are often one of a kind, or produced in small quanitities. Studio craft object can be anything from a simple handmade bottle opener made by Michael Marriott to a highly sought-after chair made by Charles Rohlfs.
