Vol. 16 (2024): Making cultural heritage

Craft studies is an emerging field of research that is gaining recognition worldwide. Studia Vernacula is a publication that aims to lead the way in craft studies in Estonia. Craft studies combine practical skills with theoretical knowledge of heritage craft technologies. Such a practice-based approach helps researchers achieve a better understanding of the technical aspects of the objects they study.

The current publication is a special issue in English that brings together a wide range of craft research articles. These span from classical artefact and technology studies, to making-based heritage protection and the materiality of cultural processes. We hope this journey through different aspects of „Making cultural heritage“ inspires our international craft research community.
