Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the views of student teachers on the meaning of craft hobbying. This study employed a qualitative case study approach and used essay submissions from a sample of craft student teachers enrolled in a craft-related course. The study findings suggest that making crafts plays a significant role in both their personal lives and academic pursuits. Their perception of craft making transcends mere recreational activity and is viewed as a means of expressing their creativity, honing their skills, and promoting sustainability. It seems that crafting is culturally ingrained in Finnish craft student teachers.
