Abstract

This chapter discusses how a clay workshop can be used as an inquiry method in the knowledge management context. We focus on transdisciplinarity as an essential part of the knowledge creation process and clay workshop as an artistic approach for enabling knowledge production that takes place in collaboration among different disciplines. We demonstrate empirically how a series of clay workshops enabled individuals to recognise their personal tacit knowledge and how it supported knowledge creation in a work context. The study contributes to the literature on the interface of knowledge management, and the arts from a practitioner perspective, the study provides guidelines on how embodied methods, such as, for example, clay crafting, can be used for making sense and surfacing tacit knowledge.
