Craft forms of production have enjoyed a notable revival in recent decades and have been argued to provide a source of competitive advantage in a post-Fordist economic landscape. Craft combines physical manufacturing with creative production to produce objects imbued with notions of quality, authenticity, skill, and bespoke production. Craft elevates particular practices and processes, which has allowed it to become viewed as a more environmentally responsible and socially just way of organizing production. This dissertation explores the normative landscape of craft, emphasizing the implications it has for contemporary geographies of manufacturing. Drawing on a mixed methods approach, and an in-depth case study of the craft brewing sector in Portland, Oregon, the dissertation highlights three unique geographies associated with contemporary craft manufacturing. First, the dissertation highlights a tendency towards spatial agglomeration and a (re)localization of small-scale production in advanced economies. It traces the development of Portland's craft brewing cluster, highlighting the significant role that place-specific institutional and material factors have played in the emergence and growth of the cluster. Second, the dissertation highlights a heightened perception and desirability of manufacturing work associated with the contemporary resurgence of craft, despite the presence of precarious working conditions in craft sectors. A key finding of the dissertation is that precarious working conditions are actually being exacerbated by the heightened status of craft brewing work. Finally, the dissertation highlights a fusion of industrial and cultural production associated with the recent craft revival and documents the ways this has transformed industrial workspaces. In particular, the dissertation emphasizes the unique spatial and locational requirements of craft breweries as well as the ways that their workspaces are enlisted to serve both production and consumption functions. It also places the material landscape of craft beer production in conversation with urban planning, revealing the ways in which craft breweries are used by policy-makers to promote gentrification, tourism and neighbourhood branding and the ways in which these policies are simultaneously benefitting and threatening the continued existence of Portland's significant craft brewing cluster.
