There is a burgeoning movement afoot, a return to the art of
making things by hand. A growing group of aware and committed
people are seeking out high-quality handmade goods, and New York
City is at the forefront of this renaissance.
This book takes the reader into the studios of master artisans in
fields such as glassblowing, masonry, and wood carving as well as
hatmaking, embroidery, and calligraphy. It provides the ultimate
sourcebook for objects with real character--whether for renovating
the home, re-creating a look from the past, searching for a
one-of-a-kind gift, or restoring a beloved antique. The reader will
discover hidden gems such as hand-turned ceramic bowls, tables made
from a single piece of wood, baskets fashioned from rare black ash,
and hand-blocked wallpaper. The tradespeople profiled here have
reached a level of expertise attained only through years of
practice. These professionals are obsessive about quality and are
driven by a profound passion for their work. Most of them toil in
obscurity and normally can be found only through word of
mouth--until now.
