Gwen Blakley Kinslerthe founder of the Crochet Guild of America and a fiber-art practitioner in her own rightexamines the concepts and diverse works of these artists, in whose hands the magic of crochet creates cutting-edge art for the twenty-first century. Each artist approaches the medium with wonder and the desire to explore its full potential.
