Abstract: This chapter reflects on Hand Thought , a hybrid digital/analogue craft project, which frames a discussion around the craft practitioner’s relationship with digital technologies and how their role and value are assessed within a craft practice. A digital craft ethos is proposed to identify a series of distinctions between an embodied, pragmatic, and craft-oriented approach to using digital tools, and immanent industrial design and engineering approaches. More broadly, it argues for examining technology as “experience” and “practice” and, as a result, this digital craft ethos provides a distinct lens through which craft practitioners can consider the values and goals that they tend to associate with the technologies they use.
