ISBN: 9781789940152.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA celebration of female inventiveness and aesthetic sensibility, Shedding the Shackles explores womens craft enterprises, their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle.\n\nIn the first part of the twentieth century, suffering from a legacy inherited from the Victorian era, craft skills, such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting were regarded largely as womens domestic pastimes, and remained undervalued and marginalised. It has taken several decades for attitudes to change, for the boundaries between fine art and craft to blur, and for textile crafts to be given the same respect and recognition as other media.\n\nFeaturing artisans and projects from across the globe Shedding the Shackles celebrates their vision and motivation giving a fascinating glimpse into how these craft initiatives have created a sustainable lifestyle, and impacted upon their communities at a deeper level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Herbert Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983688790069,"sku":"ByrdShop_178994015X","price":22.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781789940152_a12cd459-f7b0-4aeb-8623-1c8667100d19.jpg?v=1778952224","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shedding-the-shackles-womens-empowerment-through-craft-9781789940152","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
