The folk artists of Italy have created some of the most beautiful
crafts in the world: laces, mosaics, leatherwork, quilting, and
wood inlay are among the most well-known. In this vintage book,
originally published in 1977, Janet and Alex D Amato explore these
traditional Italian crafts as well as others not so well known,
such as tambour (a kind of crocheting worked directly into a
fabric), straw marquetry (a mosaic-like craft done with tiny pieces
of straw), wood carving and quillwork. They explain each craft as
it was originally practiced, then adapt it to make contemporary
craft pieces. The projects include an embroidered full length
apron, a bobbin lace wall hanging, a straw marquetry box, jewelry,
and many more. Also included are instructions for a Presepio (a
traditional Italian manger scene) and a Pinocchio marionette.
Italian Crafts will teach you the traditional folk arts of Italy,
and will inspire you to use those folk arts in new and creative
ways. There are line drawings and photographs throughout this
unique book."
