- Summary
- "This volume is the first to examine how craft artists and designers apply scientific and mathematical concepts to creating their work, and reveals approaches to problem-solving among these makers and professionals in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Craft in the Laboratory builds off STEAM-related programming created by the Mint Museum of Arts department of Learning & Engagement to explore this intersection in depth. Drawn from the Museum's renowned permanent collection of craft and design in all mediaceramic, pottery, wood, metal, glass, fibre, textiles and design this volume highlights how artists have thought like scientists and engineers"--
