Craft and cooperative practices are currently resurging in many European and North American societies. Builders often construct certain political sensibilities through their daily work, which frame their wider social and political engagement with the encompassing society. This book explores the revival of cooperative craftwork in Denmark, delving into construction sites and political assemblies to reveal the dreams, drives, and desires of a diverse group of builders working in a Copenhagen-based craft co-op. It sheds light on the political capacities of cooperative craftwork and on cooperative practitioners’ complicated relation to capitalist practices; practices which they simultaneously refuse, ridicule, and reproduce.
