This chapter focuses on the pedagogical function of creative practices and performances of crafting. The practice space for crafting and handmade art offers a metaphor for thinking through the ways artful and creative practices enable new ways of reflexively and critically thinking about, understanding, and making sense of the world and our interactions with others.
