Product Description

Product Description
Studio Craft, in effect, started with the Arts and Crafts Movement, and developed throughout the 20th century. This work looks at studio arts from woodworking, ceramics and glass to jewellery, metalworking and textiles, and discusses the factors that have shaped their development. These range from philosophical considerations such as ethnicity, tradition and Post-Modernism to practicalities such as the development of new techniques and equipment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Persistently grating, 27 Nov 2008
I'm afraid I found Greenhalgh's writing too pompous and turgid to be at all engaging. Other contributors were more successful in communicating their point.
