This book brings together historical, policy and individual narratives to inform a broad understanding of craft entrepreneurship.
The increased use of platforms such as Etsy and Instagram have resulted in interest in craft businesses and craft entrepreneurship, opening new windows for both craftspeople and those interested in entrepreneurship. In this volume, contributors from England, Scotland, Canada, Serbia, and Sweden cover topics that fall under the umbrella of cultural policy and craft economy. The included case studies offer interesting statistical information, such as the fact that people employed in craft industries are predominantly male, whereas self-employed and part-time workers tend to be female.... With a list of impressive contributors, this compact volume is well researched and supported by expansive bibliographic notes at the end of each essay. Recommended.
