Tessy invited 28 authors to contribute to her first book Hand Made, a compendium of participatory community projects from the 2000s.
'Largely (but not exclusively) these projects by-pass existing ‘systems’. They start with little or no money and ask for no permissions….Small they may be, but they represent the seeds of an emergent culture which I believe is going to spread, so potent is the glow created from the human interactions these projects generate.'
