The New Artisans: Handmade Designs for Contemporary Living

I purchased this book as Iam a person who gains great inspiration from seeing the process and outcome of other peoples works of art. This book is delightful not only in it's prescentation but also it's body as it spans the globe from Australia to France in search of Artisans of today and hopefully inspiring those of tomorrow.

This book is truly inspirational. So many artisans in the world catalogued into one fabulous book. You'll want to create beautiful designs yourself and visit their studios. This book belongs out in your best browsing spot and will probably never see the dust of the bookshelf.

This brilliant collection takes you on visits to contemporary craftspeople and decorators, their studios and work. It's the next best thing to traveling across the world to visit them all!

Good price /quality . The package came earlier than expected. I was very satisfied.

This was a old information book . I thought by the title it was by actually a good up to date book. It is very out dated.

This book encompasses more than 70 artisans and their works. There is text about each person and how they create their work. Several colour pictures usually accompany each, some showing the process of design. Web sites are also included. All is done in an elegant style that shows off these handmade endeavors.Some of the works are ceramics, some textiles or jewelry and some are even recyclable collages.A directory that includes pictures also showcases these works.A list of shops in the US, London, Paris, Sydney and Tokyo, websites, blogs are all included.This book would make a good resource for those who are interested in arts, crafts and even interior design.

So inspirational! I am glad I bought this book and I cannot help looking back at it. I have discovered many talents and the great thing is that their creations are delightful and they seem affordable. Glass, paper, ceramic, metal, wood, textile...it is all covered. It is such a nice idea and compilation. If you buy this book, you will not regret it!

Lovely book, full of beautiful original crafts and art, and interviews with the artists / photos of their studio.Would also make a lovely gift for the creative person in your life. Great quality, thick hardback book, excellent value for the price.

loved this book i got a lot of inspiration from this for my own work. I would defiantly tell my arty friends about this book
