Whew! The New Craft Artists in Action have been running sprints to prepare for the holiday season. It’s been a little over a year since we self-published our classic instruction manual Net Works but we already have a line of new goodies that would make EXCELLENT holiday gifts for a variety of folks. A list of hand crafted objects including team jerseys, posters, post cards, pennants and more will pique the interest of anyone interested in athletics, craft, history, feminism, and beyond.
We encourage everyone to chase us out to upcoming craft and book fairs or to place online orders. All money made from these sales are put toward new projects, shows, and community programming. This is what the NCAA operates off of! We recently updated our Square Store with new products so check it out.
The photos below show products in their context at the New York Art Book Fair (thanks to the Office of Culture and Design and Hardworking Goodlooking for sharing a corner of their booth) and Bust Magazine’s Bust Craftacular Boston.
See above our new zine Sports Illustrated, Vol 1 created for the Field Days event last spring.

See Above: Smaller hand-painted pennants based on the set we made for Hoops: From Swoopes to Summit. These pennants feature names of African American women’s basketball teams that self organized and competed near the turn of the century.
