Stolpverk är en byggnadsteknik med lång historia och finns i olika former över hela världen. Stolpverks konstruktioner kan utformas på många olika sätt. Det går att skapa vackra och rymliga byggnader och andra konstruktioner med enbart trä-i-trä förbindningar, som sedan är synliga i konstruktionen som vackra detaljer.
Det är nästan 100 år sedan en lärobok om stolpverksbyggande senast gavs ut i Sverige. Boken ger en introduktion till stolpverk och olika påritningstraditioner, samt en översikt över de i Sverige mest använda träförbindningarna.
I boken finns ett stort antal arbetsprocesser där man lär sig att pårita och tillverka olika träförbindningar med enkla metoder och verktyg. QR-koderna i boken ger även möjlighet att se instruktionsfilmer av de i boken beskrivna arbetsprocesserna. I slutet av boken finns ritningar och beskrivningar av hur man bygger en stolpverksbock och en 3x5 m stolpverkskonstruktion efter den påritningsmetod som på svenska kan kallas vinkelsystemet.
Välkommen in i stolpverkets värld. En byggteknik med oändliga möjligheter.

Järn och smide känner många människor en svårförklarad dragning till. Kanske är det en del av den längtan till enkla och grundläggande levnadsvillkor som tillhör vår tid. I alla tider har smedyrket omgetts av ett skimmer av nästan magisk karaktär. Smeden tillverkade de verktyg och de vapen som betydde utkomst, liv och kanske död. Järnsmidesboken har under ett decennium vunnit fäste som standardbok för smide i hela Norden och även Tyskland. Också i Nya Järnsmidesboken beskrivs hela processen från hur en enkel smedja kan sättas upp till de nödvändiga verktygen och grunderna för själva smidet. Nu tillkommer dessutom nya kapitel om yxsmide, knivsmide och damasktekniken. Allt sker i dialog mellan en nutida smed med starka rötter i traditionellt smide och hans vetgirige lärling. Nya Järnsmidesbokens många teckningar och foton tar vid och levandegör sammanhangen där orden inte räcker till. Nya Järnsmidesboken vänder sig till alla som vill lära sig smida eller bara läsa om detta hantverk som haft och har stor betydelse för utvecklingen i samhället.

Antologin har tidigare utgivits i serien Perspektiv från världsarvet Engelsbergs bruk, nu i nytt mindre format.
Arkitekten och överintendenten Carl Johan Cronstedt presenterade 1767 ett memorial med titeln "Beskrifning på Ny Inrättning af Kakelugnar til Weds Besparing för Rikets råd". Där beskrevs en revolutionerande konstruktion som skulle komma att förändra svensk arkitektur och hushållning under de kommande hundrafemtio åren: den moderna kakelugnen.
Fram till 1900-talets början förblev kakelugnen den i särklass viktigaste värmekällan i svenska hem. Både teknik och estetik förfinades, även om det huvudsakligen är samma grundprincip som än idag används vid kakelugnsuppsättningar. I våra dagar är kakelugnen ett viktigt exempel på upplysningstidens arbete med teknik, vetenskap och konsthantverk, och genom att följa kakelugnens utveckling öppnas ett fönster till 1700-talets tankevärld.
Huvudredaktörer är Kurt Almqvist och Svante Helmbaek Tirén.

Ibland möter man någon vars livsverk är genialiskt - men nästan helt okänt för allmänheten. En sådan person är finsnickare Calle Warfvinge i Ekholma i Skåne. Han gör enastående vackra stolar, bord, byråer och trappor av lövträd som växer i skogarna där han bor. Okänd för allmänheten, men i högsta grad av allmänt intresse. Det är bakgrunden till att jag tagit initiativet till denna fotobok. Fler människor måste ges möjlighet att upptäcka detta gudabenådade trähantverk. Ett annat skäl är förstås det bildmässiga. Hans möbler och inte minst hans snickarbod är en dröm för en fotograf att försöka avbilda. Arbetet med boken har tagit flera år. Ett av skälen är Carl-Eric Warfvinges anspråkslöshet. Han har värjt sig mot att kallas konstsnickare, och han har uttryckt tvivel om hans livsverk verkligen är värt en bok, och på hans begäran har alla överord i boken strukits. Men i fotografens förord har jag tillåtelse att säga som det är. Jag är mycket tacksam för att jag har lyckats övertala Carl-Erik Warfvinge till att göra denna bok. Jag är också glad för att jag har fått följa hans arbete, och för all tid och allt arbete som han har lagt ner för denna bok. Ett särskilt tack även till grafiska designern Eva Brumark, som tålmodigt följt med på hela resan.

*Pre-order your copy of Ink Paper Chisel Grain today*A dazzling journey through 500 years of art, ideas and human imagination, told through one of the most enduring and versatile artistic mediums ever created - the woodcut.At its simplest, a woodcut begins with a piece of wood, a cutting tool, ink and paper. Yet from these humble materials artists have created some of the most powerful images in human history. In Ink Paper Chisel Grain, artist and printmaker Paul Coldwell invites us into intimate encounters with the works and makers who transformed woodcut from a practical technology into a vehicle for beauty, revolution, protest and wonder.Travelling across centuries and continents, Coldwell guides us from Albrecht Dürer’s apocalyptic visions and Hokusai's Great Wave to Käthe Kollwitz's searing anti-war prints and the monumental contemporary works of William Kentridge. Along the way we meet artists, printers, collectors, curators and craftsmen; step inside museums, archives and studios; and discover how a simple process of cutting into wood helped shape the visual culture of the modern world.Part history, part travelogue, part meditation on art and making, Ink Paper Chisel Grain reveals how woodcut has survived every technological revolution thrown at it, celebrating the enduring human impulse to leave a mark.

For over a century, French colonial and Moroccan postcolonial state-building efforts have tethered cultural identity to the preservation and "modernization" of artisanal craftwork. Twenty-first-century heritage development initiatives aim to turn the "traditional" know-how of skilled textile producers into "modern" knowledge, reeducating, reorganizing, and reorienting artisans with new markets in mind. But media and development discourses often obscure artisans' own perspectives on their labor, reducing makers and the iconic embroidered and woven textiles they create to romantic stereotypes about "traditional craft."Threading the Needle seeks to correct these clichés. Drawing on analysis of policy documents and archives, media and heritage representations of craft, and nearly two years of fieldwork, this historically grounded ethnography brings readers into the everyday lives of Moroccan textile artisans and other craft experts. Author Claire B. Nicholas foregrounds the diversity of artisans' voices and experiences as they practice patience (sabr) in learning their trades, managing their lives, and navigating state-led efforts to promote craft heritage. Even as artisans participate in training programs and cooperative forms that resemble those of the colonial era, they accomplish parallel objectives that sustain personal and community values. The result is the continuance of local categories of belonging, authority, and sociality, alongside the extension of state influence over the future of craft.With close attention to the practices and possibilities of living heritage in postcolonial Morocco, Threading the Needle reveals the interwoven relationships between tradition, culture, craft, and political authority.

Traditional crafts have been an essential part of Indian history, culture and life. This handbook looks at craft as both a cultural artefact that reflects people’s worldviews, indigenous practices and traditions, as well as a source of income generation and development that is inclusive. India’s rapid development has meant a breakdown of traditional economies, and including craft production-to-consumption systems. Meanwhile, there is a call to action from different factions to protect, revive and reinvent craft, because the inherent sustainability of the systems that underpin it are essential for the sustainability of India and her people. Against this backdrop, this book examines the current landscape of craft in India—its production and marketing in different parts of India, the incorporation of innovation and technology, the push for sustainability and equitability in the handicraft ecosystem and promising government policies that have proved beneficial for craftspeople. It also discusses various challenges that artisans, micro-entrepreneurs, and marketers face working in the space. With contributions from leading experts in the field of design, activism, policy, education, cultural heritage and entrepreneurship, this volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth picture of the history, economics and future of craft and its relationship with sustainability.An authoritative resource on Indian craft, this handbook will be useful for scholars and researchers of sustainable development, development studies, architecture, design, heritage studies, cultural studies, political economy and public policy.

The heart of every working farm and ranch, the barn is an icon of rural America. This book chronicles – and celebrates – all the main types, and looks at how these treasures of early American architecture developed. It explains how a wealth of immigrant construction methods and range of environments and climates resulted in a fascinating variety of barn styles in the United States, from the earliest rare Dutch examples to simpler English types and others in more surprising shapes (round or even polygonal) crafted by the Shakers in the 1800s.It highlights the most notable, famous and historic barns that the reader can visit, and features the efforts of conservation groups to preserve America's barns and find innovative ways to repurpose these glorious old structures as homes and studios – and as living monuments of rural heritage.
