fibertext: education, practice & theory

More of a coffe-table book than any sort of academic/critical/ground-breaking book, By Hand was just published by Princeton Architectural Press.

In a response to the sleek forms and perfect angles of late-1990s objects, many of today’s artists are returning to handmade work such as hand lettering, hand drawing, and hand sewing. By Hand features an international collection of the most noteworthy artists and shows their work in detailed photography and insightful texts.
