Craft is at the very heart of British identity, from stained-glass
windows in country churches to the Enid Blyton charm of thatched
houses; from Harris Tweed (R) (famously poached by Coco Chanel) to
the ceremonial livery worn by horses at Buckingham Palace. The
burgeoning of digital craftsmanship is also enriching
ground-breaking technologies, including microbial weaving and
bespoke-made vessels for growing human tissue. Craft Britain brings
together watchmakers with saddlers; bell casters with neon benders;
shoemakers with silversmiths; potters with orrery-makers;
stonemasons with weavers; embroiderers with basket-makers - and a
myriad other craft traditions. This book aims to beat the drum for
craft, waking people up to the fact that they need to support the
country's rich seam of incredible craftspeople and so encourage new
generations to master the skills needed to preserve and continue
craft traditions. Craft Britain proves that craftsmanship in
Britain is neither dying nor dead, but is a continuing and exciting
exploration of process, materials and ideas spanning architecture,
interiors, fashion, art and design.
