Understanding Artisanal Production
This is the first project to explore the growing field of artisanal production and consumption in Australia.
By understanding the meaning and values underpinning people’s choices, and not just counting their economic effects, the project explores how small-scale and artisanal producers can maintain sustainable businesses, the cultural identities and discourses in play in the selling of Australian-made goods, and how locally made artisanal products can inclusively reach wider markets.
