Abstract: In an attempt to move debate beyond advocatory accounts of practice-led research, this paper asks whether craft-based research is sufficient as a research paradigm for creative arts disciplines. In the context of a broader account of practice theory, one that might enable disciplinary links across the arts, human sciences, government and the cultural industries, it asks whether the practice-led research model may in fact reify the notion of craft at the expense of considering the more mundane and uncreative domains of practice that underpin cultural value. It draws attention to the potentially counterproductive effects of the creative industries policy push in relation to creative arts education, and makes some tentative proposals concerning the supervision of research students.
