Introduction.

The MA in Critical Craft Studies (MACR) program at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina, which was the first low-residency, full-time graduate program focused on craft studies, has been terminated. However, a special issue of the Journal of Modern Craft has been published, featuring student work from the MACR program. The essays in the special issue explore various aspects of craft, including the historiography of craft, media studies, economics, cultural geography, Black studies, and Indigenous studies. The essays also examine craft in different contexts, such as the classroom, studio, workshop, and various locations in North Carolina. The special issue aims to showcase the research methodology of ethnography and its application in craft scholarship. [Extracted from the article]
