Käsityöperinnön ylläpitäminen ja uudistaminen ajan hengessä on haaste käsityöalan toimijoille. Tässä opinnäytetyössä luotiin Taitojärjestölle käsityöperintötoiminnan malli, jonka avulla järjestössä voidaan uudistaa sekä ylläpitää ja vaalia käsityöperintöä. Käsityöperintötoiminnan malli perustuu Taitoliiton käsityöperinnön kummitoiminta -hankkeesta saatuun aineistoon. Opinnäytetyö kehittää Taitojärjestön toimintaa käsityöperinnön edistämiseksi. Tutkielman tilaaja on Taitoliitto, Käsi- ja taideteollisuusliitto Taito. Taitoliitto ja sen paikalliset Taitoyhdistykset muodostavat yhdessä Taitojärjestön. Taitoliitto on Taitojärjestön keskusorganisaatio, jonka tehtävä on ylläpitää, edistää ja kehittää käsityön toimialaa Suomessa. Käsityöperintö, sen ylläpitäminen ja uusintaminen on olennainen osa järjestön toimintaa, ja Taitoliitto on keskeinen käsityön aineettoman, elävän perinnön toimija. Käsityöperinnön kummitoiminta -hankkeen tavoite...

We present a case study in which 12-year-old students engaged in architectural design under the guidance of their teacher and a professional designer. The students were engaged in all aspects of design processes, such as analysing the design of existing houses, analysing the building site, determining building volume, design facades, and floor plans; they formed seven teams, each of which had its own house to design. The data-analysis relied on the Knowledge Forum database, consisting of students’ notes, pictures, sketches, and photos. The participants’ quantitative contributions to the database were analyzed with Analytic ToolKit which underlies Knowledge Forum. A qualitative content analysis was performed to the KF notes produced by the student teams; a theory and data-driven approach for categorizing the content of the notes was employed. The resu...

The aim of this paper is to discuss memories of clothing, in the context of craft.

In order to understand the nature of clothing memories, the prospect-refuge theory presented by geographer Appleton (1975, 1988) is applied. Appleton has elaborated his extended theory for landscape assessment. The central idea is that human environments are assessed in terms of the opportunities they afford for observation and for being observed. An unimpeded opportunity to see and observe is called a prospect; an opportunity to hide, a refuge. (Appleton, 1975, 1988; Crozier, 1994) In addition, environments always contain hazards as a threat to seeing and hiding possibilities. Crozier (1994, pp.17-19) has pointed out that the need for prospect and refuge can be fulfilled at a symbolic level and metaphorically. In this paper, Appleton's concepts are understood as a means of regulating one's relationship to the clothing environment metaphorically: landscape is turned into mindscape.

The data consists of first-person accounts of experience: autobiographical memories of clothing and essays on favourite clothes. The texts are analyzed using qualitative content analysis. In this paper, the contents of the concepts of Appleton's theory are discussed in relation to craft.

The memories of handmade clothing involve strongly mixed emotions: some descriptions are full of pride and pleasure, while others describe feelings of shame and inferiority. Craft as such affords a sense of prospect, either positive or negative. The mixed emotions also point out the characteristics of hazard that craft includes: the process is always somewhat unpredictable in terms of outcome. The contents of memories suggest that the hazard 'effect' includes human relations. The outcome is not merely a physical object, but a representation of parental love, for example.

The memories of clothing crafted for oneself show that craft provides a possibility for affirming a sense of continuity with one's self-experience. The production process is also a powerful medium for improving one's environment in a direction desired: towards a sense of prospect, refuge - or more hazards. The mindscape of crafted clothes is built with strong emotions and experiences of making and people entangled in the processes, as well as with an understanding of self-identity.

The study was carried out by analyzing qualitatively knowledge posted to FLE-Tools’ database by three courses of first-year textile students (N = 34) who were engaged in a collaborative design project that focused on designing clothing for prematurely born babies. The study indicated that designing in the network environment facilitated engagement of expert-like designing in a sense of supporting specification of constraints related to designing clothing to premature neonates through in-depth problem structuring and search of new information. A design challenge of FLE-Tools is to provide more effective tools for collaborative work with visual sketches as well as developing tools and practices that would help to share knowledge emerging not only in the conceptual but also during the actual manufacturing phase of designing.
