Handmade in Italy: A Celebration of Italian Artisans Working in Ceramics, Textiles, Glass, Stone, Metal and Wood
Sims, John Ferro
2002 13730 This sumptuously illustrated volume showcases the work of individual artists/artisans who create handmade pieces in various media in Italy. Author and photographer Sims traveled the country, visiting glassmakers, ceramists, weavers, metalworkers, and other specialists practicing their crafts. Chapters are devoted to each of the media, and within each chapter is a subsection devoted to each artist, describing his or her location, technique, and the history of the artist's firm or family, as well as photographs of the work. Sims describes, in fascinating detail, each of these artist's techniques and provides information on the specialties of the various regions of Italy. The volume concludes with a list of each artist and contact information, making it a useful sourcebook for anyone wishing to locate specialized handmade works. It is also a celebration of the handcrafts still produced all over Italy. Beautifully produced and handsomely illustrated, the book is a visual joy. Recommended for large public libraries and fine crafts collections. Watson-Guptill Publications, Incorporated 0823021890 / 9780823021895
