Product Description
In the age of big box stores and mass production there are still artists and crafts people who make beautiful things by hand. Colourful quilts hooked rugs and stained glass. Resilient dories and snowshoes. Whimsical whirligigs. In this book Don MacLean explores the traditional crafts of Atlantic Canada visiting dozens of creators in their workshops galleries and homes giving insight into their process and inspiration. MacLean interviews Dora Gloade about Mikmaw bead and leatherwork. He talks to Yvette Muise about preserving the Chticamp hooked rug tradition. He speaks to a luthier and a jeweller. There is an irresistible allure to items that are carefully lovingly made by hand whether they are carved from wood or painted on canvas and MacLeans book explores that.
