Craft and cooperative practices are resurgent across many European and North American societies. This book explores the revival of cooperative craftwork in Denmark, venturing onto construction sites and into political assemblies to reveal the dreams, drives, and desires of a diverse group of builders in a Copenhagen-based craft co-op. It shows how these builders forge distinct political sensibilities through their daily work - sensibilities that frame their social and political engagement with society at large. In doing so, it illuminates the political capacities of cooperative craftwork, and the practitioners’ complicated relationship with capitalist practices, which they simultaneously refuse, ridicule, and reproduce.
