currently doing some initial research for a collection development project for my Children's Materials class. we have to put together a proposed collection of nonfiction books for children that are still in print, all related to a specific theme of our choice. I was thinking it might be interesting to have a collection focused on heritage crafts or fiber arts. I'm planning on including a mix of book types--biographies of fiber artists, craft project books, informational books about how a specific craft is done and what it is.
wanted to throw this question out to the wider mastodon community--do you have any favorite kids books about fiber arts or other heritage crafts like basketry, blacksmithing, or woodworking? even if they're fiction I'd love to hear about them!

Took photos of my great-grandma-embroidered table cloths for family, unironed though, as that gets done before use. Though I’d share here too. 😊
The bluebirds square (first) was the one I put the lace edging around with mum on Facetime in her final days, so it hasn’t been used. It’s the first time I’ve had it out in years and I’m relieved the grief has softened.
If we ever have to move to a place with a small kitchen, I’d use the square ones more often, but only the big one with the napkins works on the current table.

"One of Nottinghamshire's most distinctive crafts is at risk of dying out if new people are not trained, enthusiasts say.
Bobbin lace-making is a centuries-old hand technique that evolved into machine lace-making and made Nottingham world famous.
But fans of the traditional bobbin lace-making say it is a skill in danger of being lost as few new people are discovering it."

Fascinating story about a business in Appalachia resurrecting traditional handmade brooms, right down to the heritage broomcorn variety.

I was on t’radio today!
Listen to (a little bit of) me and my lovely colleagues talk about how me make a #bell at the #bellfoundry in the #BBC #Radio4 #documentary “Bells That Still Can Ring”. There’s great interviews with Oliver Caroe at #StPaulsCathedral, the sound engineer behind AC/DC’s #HellsBells and a team of #bellringers.
