This important book forms part of the Handmade in Britain
partnership between the V&A and the BBC. Published as the
culmination of a year-long season of programming over three series,
it explores the history of making in Britain, looking across all
media within the decorative arts. Handmade in Britain expands on
the programmes, featuring key objects and makers in the V&A's
collection as well as contributions from contemporary
practitioners. It traces Britain's status as an unsophisticated
importer of luxury Renaissance goods, to becoming one of the
leading worldwide exporters of decorative arts by the end of the
nineteenth century, and discusses present-day making - particularly
the relationship between industrialized and craft-based processes
and practice. It also shows how the history of making in Britain is
not a London-centric story, but one of regional centres across the
country often suited to different manufacturers for specific
reasons. Like the programmes, the book takes each tradition in
turn, looking at ceramics, metalwork, wood, textiles and stained
glass.
