The
only book of its kind and the companion book to the PBS series of
the same name, Craft in America highlights the work of America's most
interesting craft artists past and present. Illustrated with more
than 200 commanding images and signature objects from furniture, wood,
ceramics, and glass to fiber, quilts, jewelry, metal and basketry,
this definitive work shows how crafts long admired for their marriage
of functionality and creativity, also reflect our nation's history
and the remarkable people who passed on their traditions.
Visceral, important,
and seductively beautiful, and with a prologue from former president
Jimmy Carter, this book showcases some of the most important American
objects.
