This book examines individuals, families and communities of craftworkers and their changing experience in town and country. Based on case studies drawn from personal, business, institutional and official records, as well as newspaper reports and visual illustrations, it looks at workplace dynamics and handmade wares shaped by personal consumption, rather than industrial production.

Stana Nenadic examines the 'things' that were made and the values they embodied at a time when most Scots were still engaged in hand making

either for income or pleasure

despite Scotland's emergence as a great industrial powerhouse.

Reviews for Craftworkers in Nineteenth Century Scotland: Making and Adapting in an Industrial Age

"""I have learned more from this fine study than any number of other recent books on modern ?Scottish history. It is undeniably pioneering, skillfully undermining a number of old orthodoxies about Scotland's craftworkers, and will stand as the standard work on the subject for many years to come. "" -Professor Emeritus Sir Tom Devine, University of Edinburgh"
