Many experiential education programs are developed on pillars promoting craftsmanship. Changing cultural situations have altered both our definition of, and the experiences offered to, participants that influence their concept of craftsmanship. By using Kurt Hahn's educational ideas, various experiences are explored and critiqued to determine what they offer the participant. Presented is an exploration of Kurt Hahn's ideas and why they encourage the concept of craftsmanship to arise from craftmaking experiences.
