The aim of the present study is to articulate implicit criteria used by teacher educators and professional artisans to assess expertise in craft & design. Two teacher educators and one artisan were asked to assess portfolios in metalwork consisting of finished products; sketches; and interviews about the working procedure. The paper shows how expertise; as construed by the interviewees; is related to a particular culture of learning and practice; including a disposition to use experience; knowledge and skills in specific ways.
