The papers in this issue comprise the proceedings of the 2nd Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences, held 20–22 September 2023 in Mariestad at the Craft Laboratory, affiliated with the Department of Conservation, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Craft is an integral aspect of daily life and work, activated in all the knowledgeable processes of making and transforming ideas into artefacts and services. Craft is commonly anticipated as a form of production, but it may also be practiced as a social and political activity and as a way of knowing and being in the world. Craft is omnipresent and multi-folded. Consequently, craft research is diverse, conducted across and within different disciplines and academic contexts, and operates with distinct perspectives and approaches.
The Biennial International Conference for the Craft Sciences provides an international platform for the exchange and communication of craft research between different fields and across the borders

of faculties and disciplines. Craft sciences offers a community of shared interest in craft and research, and the conference aims to expose the variety of topics, source material, methods, perspectives and results that reside in this transverse field. The inaugural BICCS conference was held 4–6 May 2021 (Groth, Westerlund & Almevik 2021). Although technically based in Mariestad, the first edition of the conference was held online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, this second edition of BICCS provides the first opportunity to use this platform to meet, mingle and exchange experiences on site.
