A brief craftivism bibliography
This is a quickly-drafted list in response to a journalist claiming online that craftivism is something [you] probably haven’t heard of… sigh. These are just the most recent books that come to mind, let alone magazine articles and more. Click any of the titles to go to the book’s Amazon page.
Am I missing any? Let me know in comments, I would love to work this into another project I have going right now! The featured photo on this post is Lisa Ann Auerbach, whose protest sweaters have always been my favorite.
