Product Description
Review
'Relevant for artists of all disciplines...the book is a simple concept, but the variety of ideas cannot fail to ignite the imagination.'
--Artists & Illustrators (October 2009)

Product Description
This highly visual book is an exploration of creativity and ideas, using 'pattern, colour and form' as the key areas to explore and develop. The author shows how different makers find inspiration from a variety of source material, and how they translate that material into original and highly individual work. The book explores the wide range of ideas and approaches that people have, and how they then apply this to pattern, colour and form. Through interviews and analysis of work from a broad range of craft disciplines, the book discusses creativity in general, the development of ideas, and makers' use of source material to produce work of vision and presence that is a coherent whole. The book is also a treasure trove of inspiring images that readers can use as a starting point for their own work.

Format:Hardcover
I have just finished reading Pattern Colour and Form by Carolyn Genders and have thoroughly enjoyed and been inspired by it. The photos are beautiful and varied, the layout is clear and easy to read and it is very informative.
The author has concentrated on the work of several artists, giving them separate chapters, illustrating different techniques and a wide variety of inspiration for their work. For anyone interested in art, pottery, textiles, glass and jewellry this book would fascinate and educate at the same time. It has certainly inspired me to begin creative work of some sort possibly starting with doing some mosaic to go over the top of the concrete blocks currently in my tiny courtyard garden.
If you have friends who are interested in art in a wide variety of forms I would recommend that you buy a copy for you and for them - they will be thrilled I am sure and so will you!

Visual treat - this book helps you to look at your environment afresh. The 2nd part that concentrates on the work of other artists is also very useful - especially if you teach and need to help your students to make those connections
