> And consider the "maker movement," which, in my most frustrated moments, I call "arts and crafts, but for boys." The "movement" has been careful to highlight its technical skills to position itself apart from similarly technical fields, like sewing. I call bullshit on this. Sewing is making. Simple as that. The "maker movement" is not distinct from sewing but encompasses it. At our hack space we have people doing woodworking, people doing machining, people doing 3d printing, and people doing various fiber-arts (sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery). Very often they are the same people, because it is all just making.
