Part of the 'Milner Craft' series.
This magnificent publication, part of a two volume series, surveys the work of designer makers in the fields of the decorative and practical arts at the beginning of a new millennium.
This volume features the work of those craftswomen and men who work with "hard" surfaces in their designs. It contains stunning objects created using the techniques of decoupage, painted finishes, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork, glass and basketry.
The 42 designers featured in this book are leaders in their fields and here their range of work is displayed to show the quality of their craftsmanship and their design skills. Overall the book contains more than 100 of their works, all photographed and displayed in colour.
Twenty of these items are described in full with detailed, clear descriptions and, instructions of how each project can be reproduced. These projects include beautiful ceramics, decoupaged objects, painted and decorated furniture. Each uses the skills of a traditional craft to create objects which can be enjoyed and used now.
Several designers, working in ceramics, glass, silver and wood, have been photographed at work showing in clear, step-by-step photographs, exactly how they complete their projects. There are also general descriptions of other examples of these designers' work and displays of new ideas and finishes which will provide inspiration to admirers, collectors and practitioners alike.
Overall, this is a massive collection which shows an enormous array of talent.
