Speel jy al 'n ruk lank met mosaiekwerk, maar voel jy moet dit nou op 'n hoer vlak beoefen? Of is jy 'n beginner wat soek na 'n uitdaging? Dan is hierdie boek net wat jy nodig het. Dit bied mosaiekwerk aan as 'n kunsvorm waar lyn, kleur en tekstuur almal saamwerk om pragtige resultate te lewer. Die treffende foto's op elke bladsy is inspirerend en leersaam. Die skrywer, wat oorspronklik 'n tekstiel ontwerper was, besef hoe belangrik die keuse van 'n ontwerp is wanneer jy 'n mosaiekprojek wil onderneem. Hierdie boek sal jou leer hoe om die regte ontwerp te kies en dit as 'n ontwerptekening weer te gee. Die tegniese inligting wat verskaf word, sal jou lei deur die proses om 'n ontwerp te kies, jou leer van die verskillende teels wat beskikbaar is, oppervlakke waarop jy kan werk en watter vir bepaalde toestande gebruik moet word, die materiaal en gereedskap wat nodig is, sowel as die verskillende mosaiektegnieke wat vir die voltooiing van jou projek gebruik kan word. Daar is selfs voorstelle vir alternatiewe as benodigdhede in jou omgewing moeilik bekombaar is. Die stap-vir-stap-projekte is pragtig en kan presies gevolg word, maar die skrywer moedig mosaiekwerkers aan om die projekte hul eie te maak deur met kleur en tekstuur te speel. Die projekte sluit groot en klein items in wat jy in jou huis of as geskenke kan gebruik, en gee alternatiewe voorstelle en idees ingeval jy 'n ander voorkoms of gevoel sou verkies. Mosaiekkuns behels soveel meer as die blote plasing van teels langs mekaar, en met Doen Mosaiek in die hand sal jy ontdek hoe geweldig bevredigend hierdie handwerkvorm kan wees.

Cleo Mussi is a true original taking an innovative path to expressing her own ideas, by creating gestural, figurative mosaics from repurposed ceramic tableware. Working within the folk tradition, Cleo creates elegant, decorative and political pieces that incorporate the inherent properties gleaned from patterns, marks, forms, colour and text into a world of contemporary narratives. These works reflect modern ideas, with both humour and a lightness of touch. Cleoa s work ranges from small intimate pieces to large scale installations of up to 100, life-size works; her mosaics are in private collections worldwide, as well as in many public spaces throughout the UK.

Reinventing craft in China - The Contemporary Politics of Yixing Zisha Ceramics (Hardcover): Geoffrey Gowlland Reinventing craft in China - The Contemporary Politics of Yixing Zisha Ceramics (Hardcover)

How does a craft reinvent itself as `traditional' following cultural, social and political upheaval? In the township of Dingshu, Jiangsu province of China, artisans produce zisha or Yixing teapots that have been highly valued for centuries. Yet in twentieth-century socialist imagination, handicrafts were an anomaly in a modern society. The Maoist government had clear ambitions to transform the country by industrialization, replacing craft with mechanized methods of production. Four decades later, some of the same artisans identified as `backward' handicraft producers in the 1950s and made to join workers' cooperatives, were now encouraged to set up private workshops, teach their children and become entrepreneurs. By the 2000s ceramic production in Dingshu is booming and artisans are buying their first cars, often luxury brands. However, many involvements of the Chinese state are apparent, from the control of raw materials, to the inscription of the craft on China's national list of intangible cultural heritage. In this perceptive study, Gowlland argues that this re-evaluation of heritage is no less inherently political than the collectivism of the communist regime. Reflecting that the craft objects, although produced in very different contexts, have remained virtually the same over time and that it is the artisans' subjectivities that have been transformed, he explores the construction of mastery and its relationship to tradition and authenticity, bringing to the fore the social dimension of mastery that goes beyond the skill of simply making things, to changing the way these things are perceived, made and talked about by others.

R1,234 Discovery Miles 12 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

High Renaissance maiolica, produced in Italy in the orbit of Raphael and other artists, is widely known and has been extensively studied. This istoriato, or narrative, maiolica graces the collections of many of the world's greatest museums. But not for almost 100 years has attention been focused on magnificent works that preceded it in the 14th and 15th centuries, which were at times prized by contemporary patrons more highly than precious metals. Maiolica before the age of Raphael refocuses the spotlight of contemporary scholarship onto the birth of design in Italian maiolica, and its evolution from c. 1350 up until 1500. It was during this formative period that its characteristic tin-based glaze, with the pure and brilliant white surface it offered the late-medieval potter, engendered some of the most rapid and exciting innovations in all ceramic art. Potters began to decorate the surfaces of their earthenware vessels (of an increasingly varied spectrum of shapes and forms) with squirming, meticulous designs of unparalleled ingenuity and expression that incorporated multisensory influences from luxury contemporary textiles, metalwork, and exotic lustreware from Islamic Spain. Presenting over forty rare objects from the foremost centres of production that have survived in private hands, this catalogue explores the spread and evolution of the medium, as well as the history of collecting and the changing taste for Italian pre-Renaissance pottery in the modern era.
