Queer Crafts provides a nuanced and timely study of the dynamic intersection of queerness and craft, examining a wide range of media - textiles, ceramics, wood, paper, metal, and glass. Daniel Fountain demonstrates how LGBTQ+ practitioners - including LJ Roberts, Paul Yore, Rose Schmits, Nicki Green, Hansel Tai, Affect Metals, Troy Montes-Michie, Antonius-T?n Bui, Raul De Lara, Nifemi Ogunro, Tim Tate, and Hamad Butt - use these materials as powerful vehicles for self-expression, community building, and social critique. Reframing craft through a queer and trans theoretical lens, the book analyzes how these practitioners reclaim histories, rewrite narratives, disrupt hierarchies, and craft their own worlds. A significant contribution to the field, Queer Crafts is an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners across a range of disciplines. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368685023605,"sku":"9781350359369","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350359369.jpg?v=1763550444","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350359369","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
