Humans are not the only animals that use tools. Nevertheless, using tools is considered one of the fundamental characteristics of the human species. In this special theme issue (1/2024) of Ethnologia Fennica, we present a broad range of articles that deal with crafting, crafting knowledge and creative material practices. What kinds of creative methods have been experimented with, invented and found useful in the material practices of communities and individuals? Furthermore, how have these innovations and different kinds of craft skills in various contexts influenced our societies and everyday life? Finally, how has crafting affected our emotions and values?

The issue includes two research articles that explore the crafting theme from the perspectives of skills and materiality. In many cases, the authors are skilful artisans themselves, and they delve into the different crafting skills through their own experiences and visions. In two review articles, the theme of this issue is approached from the perspective of materiality, sustainability and new, experimental techniques and materials. The issue also includes several book reviews, one conference report and reviews of three rather extensive article collections.
