Discover Common Threads: RBF 2025 Publisher Highlights

Independent publisher putting radical histories of craft and making on your bookshelf.

Founded in 2019 by Laura Moseley, Common Threads Press is a small, independent publisher of books and zines that uplift histories of creative work. Their publications are written and developed in close collaboration with academics and artists alike, from all around the world, who share our deep love and critical interest in craft histories.

They are inspired by and indebted to the rich history of independent, grassroots publishing that centres voices from the margins — spotlighting the political and cultural relevance of crafts that has long been overlooked or dismissed in mainstream publishing.

We love how they use the zine format as a vehicle for beautiful but bite size conversations!
