Handmade : a scientist's search for meaning through making

by Anna Ploszajski

This work explores material science through the practical expertise of craftspeople, investigating how materials like steel, clay, and glass are shaped. It combines scientific theory with hands-on making to analyse the properties and societal roles of these substances.
