Rowman & Littlefield Crafting Dissent: Handicraft as Protest from the
Book SynopsisPussyhats, typically crafted with yarn, quite literally created a sea of pink the day after Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States in January 2017, as the inaugural Women’s March unfolded throughout the U.S., and sister cities globally.But there was nothing new about women crafting as a means of dissent.Crafting Dissent: Handicraft as Protest from the American Revolution to the Pussyhats is the first book that demonstrates how craft, typically involving the manipulation of yarn, thread and fabric, has also been used as a subversive tool throughout history and up to the present day, to push back against government policy and social norms that crafters perceive to be harmful to them, their bodies, their families, their ideals relating to equality and human rights, and their aspirations. At the heart of the book is an exploration for how craft is used by citizens to engage with the rhetoric and policy shaping their country’s public sphere.The book is divided into three sections: "Crafting Histories," Politics of Craft," and "Crafting Cultural Conversations."Three features make this a unique contribution to the field of craft activism and history: The inclusion of diverse contributors from a global perspective (including from England, Ireland, India, New Zealand, Australia) Essay formats including photo essays, personal essays and scholarly investigations The variety of professional backgrounds among the book’s contributors, including academics, museum curators, art therapists, small business owners, provocateurs, artists and makers. This book explains that while handicraft and craft-motivated activism may appear to be all the rage and “of the moment,” a long thread reveals its roots as far back as the founding of American Democracy, and at key turning points throughout the history of nations throughout the world.Trade ReviewFor historians, the blend of the diverse essays is helpful in that it encourages linking past (and the history of crafts used for resistance and activism) to present (successful models of craft for political and economic engagement). This type of connection can only deepen our understanding of the history of craft for activism (or craftivism), and our representation of it in our museum collections and writing. For readers interested in engaging in craft for dissent, the lessons of activist crafting, both in the distant and more recent past, are valuable in making decisions about how to carry out craft-based actions. * New York History *Hinda Mandell’s comprehensive anthology arrives three years after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and the advent of craftivism’s third wave, a ripe time for an in-depth examination of political craft. The talented authors cover a lot of ground — from early Roman resistance to the Pussyhats of today — and much like the field’s communal ethos, their combined efforts result in a collective potency. Together, the contributors illuminate the many ways in which craft offers agency, cultivates resiliency, and strengthens our social fabric. As a museum curator and engaged citizen, I will be keeping this volume close at hand. -- Beth C. McLaughlin, chief curator of exhibitions and collections, Fuller Craft MuseumRefreshingly, the contributors in this volume do not present a tidy, celebratory, step-by-step guide to handmade activism, instead they address the many contingencies of both craftivist discourse and action as they engage with issues of race, class, gender, and power. They show that handwork wielded by engaged citizens has the power to reshape the stories we build our cultures around while simultaneously requiring similarly critical transformation itself. -- Sonja Dahl, artist, writer, activistIn a word, empowering. After reading Crafting Dissent: Handicraft as Protest from the American Revolution to Pussyhats I had to spend time reflecting with my needle and thread. This collection of thoughtful essays empowers through its stories of handicraft as it is tied to social justice. Women have had a voice for centuries, but sometimes it has had to be vocalized through their crafty creations. -- Sarah Marsom, heritage resource consultantTable of ContentsForeword Jayna ZweimanIntroduction Chapter 1: Yarn, Thread, Scissors, Fabric: A Crafter’s Tool Kit for Mending Democracy as Engaged CitizensHinda MandellPart 1: Crafting Histories Chapter 2: Craftivism from Philomena to the PussyhatSandra MarkusChapter 3: Weaving the Way Toward Liberty: John Singleton Copley’s Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mifflin (Sarah Morris)Elizabeth S.

Workman Publishing A Craftsman’s Legacy: Why Working with Our Hands
Book SynopsisA book for makers, for seekers of all kinds, an exhilarating look into the heart and soul of artisans—and how their collective wisdom can inspire us all. "Despite our technological advances, we’re busier than ever, our lives more frazzled. That’s why the handmade object, created with care and detail, embodying a history and a tradition, is enormously powerful. It can cut through so much and speak in ways that we don’t often hear, or that we’ve forgotten." —Eric Gorges, from A Craftsman’s Legacy In this joyful celebration of skilled craftsmen, Eric Gorges, a corporate-refugee-turned-metal-shaper, taps into a growing hunger to get back to what’s real. Through visits with fellow artisans—calligraphers, potters, stone carvers, glassblowers, engravers, woodworkers, and more—many of whom he’s profiled for his popular television program, Gorges identifies values that are useful for all of us: taking time to slow down and enjoy the process, embracing failure, knowing when to stop and when to push through, and accepting that perfection is an illusion. Most of all, A Craftsman’s Legacy shows how all of us can embrace a more creative and authentic life and learn to focus on doing what we love.
