The Crafter Culture Handbook

Marion Boyars Publishers, 2007
Amy Spencer

"More and more people are choosing to reject consumerism and starting to make their own things - why buy what you can make yourself? Pastimes once seen as the sole preserve of grannies and girl guides are hitting the headlines, and baking, knitting, needlecraft and homemaking are now being taken up with enthusiasm by a new generation. But where exactly does this new wave of domesticity stem from, why is it suddenly 'cool', and how can those of us who have never picked up a needle get involved? This new manual explores the new crafting movement that is sweeping the globe, through a series of over forty creative projects for any wannabe crafter to experiment with designed by the most well-known of the new contemporary craft movement."
