Presentation of the study: Passion in craftsmanship - the Austrian spirit of craftsmanship
What does it really mean to be a passionate craftsman or craftswoman? Is it just about enthusiasm for what you do, the joy of designing and creating? Or is there more to it - perseverance, patience, persistence and the strength to overcome setbacks? This study is dedicated to the often romanticized, but rarely considered in depth, question of the true meaning of passion in craftsmanship.
