The book entitled Workshop full of chaos is the result of a larger pilot project, the purpose of which is to fill the gap that exists in the Slovenian space in the field of presenting contemporary handicrafts and its reflective and analytical treatment.

The book was created in cooperation between the Lab Laar Institute and the Public Fund of the Republic of Slovenia for Cultural Activities.

The book presents thirty-three portraits of selected contemporary Slovenian craftsmen, written by Valentina Vovk and photographed by Maj Pavček. The added value of the book is the professional texts of experts in the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology, each of them in their own way and through a specific perspective of their science, telling behind-the-scenes stories of the current issues of contemporary craftsmen in Slovenia.

Professor dr. Janez Bogataj talks about handicrafts and its development in Slovenia, placing it in the broader social space of Europe through a historical perspective.

The purpose of the book is the first reflected presentation of modern Slovenian handicrafts and other related phenomena. At the same time, the book presents in one place a selection of technologically high-quality, aesthetically perfect handicraft products and their creators in the most noble sense of the word.
