Crafting Community
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4766-6285-5 (ISBN)
This book explores the threads between community building and fiber arts. Essays explore a variety of communities, different types of crafts, and the unique spaces and places where those communities exist. Readers will get a sense of how community is established, supported, and deconstructed to better understand the benefits they hold for community members. Thinking about how the communities work and why members join and stay within them offers the reader a rich view into the world of fiber arts and the communities within.
Amy M. Smith is a media and communication professor at Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts.
