Abstract
This article delves into the aspects which contribute to the creation of an object’s itinerary or life story. In the case for crafted objects this includes material history, maker-object relationships, and the historical narratives surrounding craft practices. The story of crochet samples is related through visual life writing and poetry, to highlight the agents active in the ‘creation’ of objects, as well as the pedagogical potential of undesirable outcomes within craft making and learning.
Keywords:
- Craft,
- Material,
- Human-Object Relationships,
- Poetry
Résumé
Cet article s’intéresse aux différents aspects contributifs au parcours ou à l’histoire de vie d’un objet confectionné. Dans le cas de tels objets, cela inclut l’origine des matériaux, le lien entre l’artisan et le récit historique des pratiques d’artisanat. L’histoire des échantillons crochetés est rapportée par le biais de la poésie et de récits écrits à caractère visuel, dans le but de mettre en évidence les agents dynamiques de la « création » d’objets, sans oublier la contribution potentielle de résultats non souhaités à l’artisanat et à l’apprentissage.
