in the transmission of artisanal techniques
Aim of this project is to elucidate the interaction between textual and material practices in the transmission of artisanal techniques in early modern Europe. Special attention will be given to techniques and skills that were employed in the production of glass, pigments and metals.
This project is part of the ERC-funded project ‘ARTECHNE: Technique in the Arts, 1500–1950: Concepts, Practices, Expertise’.
