In this breathtakingly illustrated book a wide selection of authors - makers, curators and art commentators from all over the world - look at studio crafts from woodworking, ceramics and glass to jewellery, metalworking and textiles. They discuss factors ranging from philosophical considerations like ethnicity, tradition and Post-modernism, to practicalities such as the development of new techniques and equipment.
Aimed at the everyday reader and heavily illustrated with a glorious array of photographs, this book gives an overview of the development of the Studio Crafts movement through the 20th Century and sets the scene for its advancement into the 21st Century.
