Itä-Suomen yliopiston käsityötieteen ja käsityönopettajan koulutusohjelmassa on pitkä kokemus käsityötieteen ja käsityönopetuksen tutkimuksesta. Olemme kiinnostuneita käsitöistä materiaalisena, teknologisena, kulttuurisena ja yhteiskunnallisena ilmiönä sekä kasvatuksen välineenä. Tutkimusryhmään kuuluu tutkijoita tutkijapolun eri vaiheilta. Teemme tutkimusta yhteistyössä keskenämme sekä muiden toimijoiden kanssa niin kansallisissa kuin kansainvälisissä verkostoissa.
