New Craft Artists in Action Publication

In 2010, I invited an incredible team of Boston-based and International artists to help with a project called Net Works. We quickly evolved into the New Craft Artists in Action and decided to create and self-publish a manual that could be used to introduce the project to new neighborhoods and schools across the globe.

Net Works: Learn to Craft Handmade Nets for Empty Basketball Hoops in Your Neighborhood is an educational resource that offers thoroughly illustrated instructions for knit and crochet, basketball net patterns submitted by artists in over 10 cities, and writings about the influence of craft and athletics in various urban settings.

NCAA team players took on the challenge of creating knit and crochet instructions that are holistic and approachable, hoping to empower and inspire a new generation of makers and players. The book features photos, hand-drawn illustrations, diagrams, charts, patterns and written accounts by those who have experienced Net Works in their communities.

Learn more about key players/writers/designers of this publication Andrea Evans, Taylor McVay, Golden Arrows and the other amazing collaborators and contributors on the NCAA blog. You can purchase the book here.
