Scott Constable is a craftsman who designs utilitarian objects like furniture skateboards and handcrafted homes to the more esoteric, such as a mobile micro radio station or a mobile biodiesel processor (the Friesel).
Discuss "craft" with Constable, whose training includes apprenticeships under master woodworkers and specializing in traditional joinery, and you're less likely to hear about such things as Windsor chairs, traditional bodgery and English guilds.
At a time when "craft" has become closely linked to Etsy or Make or any number of DIY blogs and zines, Constable wants to take back the word. "The whole Deep Craft concept was a way for me to rebrand the word craft. I was starting to see things like Etsy come out and craft was becoming ubiquitous and the same time it was becoming devalued."
Borrowing from the idea of Deep Ecology, Constable created the term "Deep Craft" and began to craft a manifesto as a set of working principles. They are a work in progress and he hopes to encourage open source dialogue.
