Description de l’éditeur

“Full of ways to show your support for a cause through homemade items . . . a great book for anyone who wants to grow their skills as a maker.” —Nerdy Girl Express
 
Craftivism is a non-threatening form of activism that gives people a voice when they feel voiceless and power where they feel powerless. It is an international movement for our time and artist, scholar, activist, and YouTube art teacher Sayraphim Lothian has put together the first-ever tutorial book on craftivism.
 
This master craftivist shows you how to make and use various crafts for political and protest purposes including:
· Embroidery
· Cross stitch
· Knitting
· Stenciling
· Decoupage
· Stamping and much more
 
Craftivism is a growing worldwide movement in which handcrafted works are being used to highlight political issues, creatively engage in activism, and encourage change in the world. Craftivists employ their works to open a space for people to be introduced to issues and to broaden the discussion surrounding them. While it might seem that this most colorful movement began recently, creative resistance has been with us for centuries around the globe, and craftivism and makers stating their mind through the medium of art is here to stay.
 
“Whether capturing the stories in crochet, or creating spontaneous interventions of crafted kindness, Sayraphim Lothian’s projects show that the new resistance can be artistic, clever, and kind. Whether using street art or baking, embroidery or soft sculpture, she demonstrates that craftivism is, at it’s very best, a medium devoted to connecting humans together, one creative act at a time.” —Leanne Prain, coauthor of Yarn Bombing: The Art of Crochet & Knit Graffiti
