Looking back over the past 50–60 years, the Danish terms kunsthåndværk (covering studio craft, decorative art and arts & crafts – literally: ‘art craft’) and design appear to have changed and ultimately switched places. Nyrup, Camillus, Haandværkskunst og Kunsthaandværk [The Art of Craft and the Craft of Art].
Artistic craft (kunsthåndværk) are something that stands in a display case that you're not supposed to put greasy fingers on. That the students see themselves more as practitioners of craft rather than craft artist (kunsthåndværkere) is perfectly fine. We lack defining what artistic craft (kunsthåndværk) is and can be today.
Ud af de 279 ansøgninger kom 16 fra kunsthåndværkere og/eller designere. Designere og kunsthåndværkere stod kun for 5,7 % af ansøgningerne, og de ansøgte beløb er også gennemsnitligt noget mindre end for eksempel billedkunstnernes. Og vi får ikke udbredt den kunstneriske tilgang, som designere og kunsthåndværkere står for.
