Abstract: This essay is based on Peter Dormer’s book “The Art of The Maker: Skill and its Meaning in Art, Craft and Design” and Harry Rand’s book “Hundertwasser”. It places Dormer and Hundertwasser in the discussion of the role of practical or craft knowledge in the art world. This essay suggests that it is very important for the artist to acquire self-experience of actually doing or making, as it cannot be articulated in words. Peter Dormer (1949‐1996) was a journalist and well-known British author specializing in contemporary visual arts, applied art, design and architecture. The main thesis of Dormer in this discussion is that craft knowledge enriches individual experience and becomes a part of the self. It is this knowledge that is expressed in art. Therefore, art benefits from it.
