this book is an exploration of the political, feminist and subversive aspects of handicrafts, and a retelling of their history and meanings. it examines how these aspects can foster exchange and, in turn, become a tool or strategy for exposing patriarchal structures and breaking with them. how they serve as a method for FLINTA* and queer people to create safer spaces and can function as a means of (artistic) expression. it is about community and belonging, about working together – and thus, in a figurative sense, the weaving, linking and spinning of ideas and experiences. i am also seeking to translate these methods and techniques into graphic design and typography. handicrafts also become a concept in my design work, sometimes visible, sometimes merely a starting point.
