Artisans of Israel is a very special book on crafts. Author Lynn
Holstein is in search of a national identity in the artisanry of
the still young country - and she finds it in the unifying pursuit
for innovation. Forty artists, including Jews, Muslims and
Christians, tell their stories and show in five different trades
how emancipation can be promoted through creativity. Working with
one's hands stands unfailingly at the centre of this reflection.
From the hybrid of cultural and religious backgrounds emerges a
unique compilation that brings together the fields of metalwork and
jewellery, ceramics, textiles, paper and wood. This compilation
portrays a sensitive and inspiring portrait of Israel and its
inhabitants. This book accompanies an exhibition at The Open
Museum, Tefen (IL), in January 2018. Text in English, Hebrew and
Arabic.
