A legacy inherited from the Victorian era has seen craft skills – such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting – undervalued and marginalised as ‘domestic pastimes’. Thankfully, attitudes are changing, and textile crafts are beginning to acquire the same respect and recognition as other fine art media. Featuring artisans and projects from across the globe this book explores women’s craft enterprises and celebrates their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle.
