Here, thirty-eight women and men—from the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, India, Italy, France, Mali, Mexico, and beyond—open their workshops to share their heritage, skill, and unique vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDana Goodwin and Dennis Williams from the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota hand-bead traditional Ojibwe clothing. Mexican textile artist Porfirio Gutiérrez selects yarn from a palette of some two hundred shades dyed naturally in colours that his sister extracts from local plants. Both honour and evolve the Zapotec traditions gleaned from their ancestors. London-based artist Anna Dickinson explores light and shadow through glass, by varying its transparency, opacity, colour, reflection, thickness, and weight. Other artisans use natural and sometimes surprising materials, including banana fibre, seaweed, or household refuse, in this thoughtful contemplation on the important role of handicraft, of time, and of nature in our contemporary societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArtisanal crafts—some nearly forgotten and lost forever—are having a renaissance thanks to a nascent consciousness for fair-trade practices, an urgent call to protect the planet, and a renewed respect for the quality and durability of handmade objects. This beautifully produced and richly illustrated tome pays homage to natural materials, the hands that shape them, and the ethos that guides their exceptional creators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Artisan\u003c\/i\u003e by Isabelle Dupuy Chavanat celebrates these time-honoured traditions and their modern-day artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082286285036,"sku":"9782080280954","price":160.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0e1886b37598618952dc54927127451c.jpg?v=1765312486"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/isabelle-dupuy-chavanat.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
