Taking Welsh Cawl Spoons as its point of interest, this video essay discusses the methodology of material culture history. I explore what insights may be gleaned from an artisan approach to history, that is, by not only studying objects from the past, but also reproducing/recreating them -- an interdisciplinary approach -- in order to gain an understanding of skills and techniques, and thereby communicate across time with the original craftsperson.
