Product Description

An inspiring look at crafters creating to make a statement, save the world, or build a community. From people using their creativity to make a political statement to organisers of the new global craft community, Craft Activism documents the multi-faceted craft activist movement. The book features socially and politically conscious crafters who have used their passion for handmade to create change, help those in need, or galvanize others. This empowering and practical guidebook features photographs and interviews with superstar crafters, including Jenny Hart, Bee Shay and the creators of Ravelry.com and Maker Faire. It covers knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, embroidery and mixed media crafting. Seventeen original projects, coupled with a wealth of tips and resources provide suggestions and solid DIY advice for readers. Craft Activism shows you the power of a creative community and how even small actions can make a great difference.

Craft activism 18 Nov 2011

By Lulubird - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Another great collaboration from Tapper/Zucker. Yes it will give you the itch to create, and yes it makes you realize how the tradition of craft can have great meaning and bring you together as community - while having a lot of fun. It's also a great read with gorgeous pictures- with information on organizations, events and sites where craft and cause go hand in hand. Are you ready to be a knit-bomber?

And look for copies of the(out of print) title Shear Sprit.

This book is a reminder that there is not an app for everything. Craft Activism is all about enduring relationships to each other, the earth, ideas, materials, community, the senses, and art. Add in gorgeous photography and you have a gem of a book!
