The craft companion - Ramona Barry

Once the domain of the domestic, craft has now infiltrated every creative sphere -
including food, fashion, fine art and architecture. If this craft renaissance is indicative
of a new wave of keen creatives, then The Craft Companion
is the ultimate guide to navigating the new craft frontiers. From appliqu and baskets to weaving and zakka, The Craft Companion
features over 30 new and old crafting techniques. Each chapter
includes a short historical overview of the craft, with design notes and explanations
of key techniques helping beginners to get started. Tools and methods are explored
through a combination of hand-drawn illustrations and photography. A range of
project ideas, including one basic project for each craft and a further Top 5 selection,
will kickstart the reader's creativity, while examples of inspirational work from
contemporary artisans display the possibilities of each medium.

With over 20 years in the craft and design industries, Ramona Barry and Rebecca
Jobson are bona fide craft gurus. Readers will love Ramona and Rebecca's witty voice
and will be inspired to experiment and dip their toes into new crafts.
