Description

A celebration of the work and the world of craft artist in South Africa, this title shows examples and reveals the artists' creative inspiration. Craft art includes baskets, beads, ceramics, glass, fabric, metal, paper, quilting, winre, wax and wood. The craft art objects are categorized according to the materials used, with each category comprising a separate chapter. The book aims to assist in building the cultural heritage of a South African design identity and to demonstrate that the African Renaissance could come out of South Africa. Its aim is to introduce South African craft artists to the rest of the world in order to engender interest and positive economic implications. - from Amzon
