- Amateur Craft was the culmination of seven years’ research (2008-2015); three funded through an AHRC CDA, with additional support fromt the Crafts Study Centre. Research explored amateur craft from the mid-nineteenth century to today, focused on Britain, USA and France. Knott consulted over eight archives across London, Paris and Washington D.C, including the paint-by-number archives at the Smithsonian and London’s Model Railway Society. The book included four case studies and deployed object analysis, understanding processes through observation and practice, and interviews with amateur makers. Research drew on craft theory, material culture, histories of popular culture and theories of everyday life.
