worldwide craft communities (culture, innovation, differentiation)
small communities with specialist skills I am investigating the topic of artisan crafts within communities throughout the world. If you have travelled, or perhaps worked with people such as this then please have a go at this mind map and add your thoughts and ideas! if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to email me on [email protected] It's really not as difficult as it first appears to use - if I managed to work out how to use it you all have no excuse...!!! ...
