'Handmade In Melbourne' is a celebration of Melbourne craftspeople and artisans and the things they make with their hands. The book reflects the global trend away from the manufactured and mass-produced and towards a renewed appreciation of things handmade, as well as old crafts and traditions.
'Handmade In Melbourne' features 80 subjects including milliners and fashion designers; embroiders and lamp-shade makers; violin makers and furniture makers; a cricket bat maker and a walking stick maker. The book will include profiles of the subjects, each accompanied by evocative photographs.
