Studio craft though it takes many forms, can be thought of in general as the tendency to practice craft methodology in an environment similar if not equivalent to an artists studio. Viewed in comparison to the practice of traditional craft which tends to generate craft objects out of necessity or for ceremonial use Studio Craft represents a contemporary shift from traditional craft by producing craft objects at the whim of the maker or intended owner and which tend to be at best only desirable for use and sometimes outright in opposition to it. Because studio craft dissents from objects of pure necessity studio craft inspires significant comparisons to works of studio art which also tend to be made specifically to stimulate. It is often argued by contemporary craftspeople that because of studio crafts diminished reliance on objects of necessity the studio craft object becomes more viable for the kind of aesthetic critical theory which occurs in fine art theory.
