I don't mind the setting or the craft – contemporary or historical, real or scifi or fantasy, the craft doesn't even have to exist but I'd like descriptions of doing the craft and for it to be part of a character's life. It could be a hobby or a job.
Some examples – Music in the Dark (shoemaking), most books by Tracy Chevalier (embroidery, quilting, tapestry), A Single Shard (pottery), Silas Marner (weaving)…
