Taylor & Francis Ltd - Craft In Art Therapy Diverse Approaches To The Transformative Power Of Craft Materials And Methods - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Craft in Art Therapy is the first book dedicated to illustrating the incorporation of craft materials and methods into art therapy theory and practice. Contributing authors provide examples of how they have used a range of crafts including pottery glass work textiles (sewing knitting crochet embroidery and quilting) paper (artist books altered books book binding origami and zines) leatherwork and Indian crafts like mendhi and kolam/rangoli in their own art and self - care and in individual group and community art therapy practice. The book explores the therapeutic benefits of a range of craft materials and media as well as craft's potential to build community to support individuals in caring for themselves and each other and to play a valuable role in art therapy practice. Craft in Art Therapy demonstrates that when practiced in a culturally sensitive and socially conscious manner craft practices are more than therapeutic they also hold transformational potential.
