The natural materials of wood and stone have a timeless, sculptural quality that perfectly reflects the crafts and home interiors of today, while retaining links with artifacts of an earlier age.
The book opens with a short section about materials, techniques and equipment, all with an emphasis on simplicity. Then there is a gallery of exciting designs from today's leading practitioners for inspiration, including 20 fabulous examples from some of the great artists and craftspeople working with these materials today.
There then follows a unique collection of 25 practical craft projects shown in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format using only a few basic techniques and very little equipment. Each project has been created by a professional artist or craftsperson, combining the best of contemporary design with achievable, desirable ideas to make at home.
Create lanterns from willow branches; a wall-hanging cabinet from driftwood; a beautiful twig candelabra; door-stops made from stones, or pebble mosaics for a garden path. With its stunningly original designs and beautiful photography, this is the first practical craft book to explore the extraordinary potential of working in crafts with natural, found materials, and the only guide you will ever need on the subject.
