Summary:
Today's crafters are no longer interested in simply cross-stitching samplers or painting floral scrolls on china. Instead the contemporary craft movement embraces emerging artists crafters and designers working in traditional and nontraditional media. culture and the D.I.Y. ethos. For this book the authors have selected 24 makers and 5 essayists who work within different media and have different methodologies to provide a microcosm of the crafting community. Twenty-four artists from Olympia Washington to Providence Rhode Island and everywhere in between show their work and discuss their lives. Texts by Andrew Wagner of American Craft Magazine Garth Johnson of Extremecraft.com Callie Janoff of the Church of Craft Betsy Greer of Craftivism.com and Susan Beal author of Super Crafty supply a critical view of the tight-knit community where ethics can overlapwith creativity and art with community.
