From Mingei to Craeft!

Some of you may have followed the Mingei project that provided means to establish representations of heritage Crafts, based on digital assets, semantics, existing literature, and repositories, as well as mature digitisation and representation technologies. The Craeft project was officially launched in March 2023 to take over Mingei’s results and further implement means for capturing, representing, transmitting, and safeguarding tangible and intangible aspects of heritage crafts.

Despite crafts countless values and benefits for employment, sustainability, territorial identity, and cultural heritage preservation, many crafts skills
are under threat for several reasons. Among them are the isolation and
aging of craft practitioners, the low transmission rate, and
not to forget constantly growing mass-consumption habits
and the economic crisis that make craft products less accessible.

Craeft aims to contribute to the safeguarding of crafts by deepening the understanding of crafts actions, techniques, and skills through the recording and digital documentation of crafts gestures and the development of
computer-aided methods that will stimulate and support the crafts transmission and creation processes.
