Abstract
Through a reading of key concepts in The Craftsman by the American sociologist Richard Sennett, this article investigates if there are any clear connections between craft and Bildung in Sennett' work. Based on stories from The Craftman, this article analyzes three concepts (repetition, resistance and dialog) of craft as understandings of Bildung. The three concepts show an inherent educational potential, and that these potentials can be regarded as pedagogical possibilities, in technical vocational educations. Finally, the article discusses how the three concepts on craft as Bildung, could fit into the current educational practice of technical vocational educations in Denmark.
