National pride, culture, and beauty are paramount in this lovingly prepared and executed work on the handicrafts of Slovenia. The efforts of more than 200 folk artisans working in 61 craft genres are prominently displayed in this comprehensive book, which was sponsored by the Ministry of Small Business and Tourism of the Republic of Slovenia. Both traditional and contemporary crafts produced from wood, reeds, clay, metal, fabric, and other media are highlighted in a fascinating array of articles, including ceramics, furniture, musical instruments, and etched eggs, to name a few. Bogataj (ethnological studies, Univ. of Ljubljana) includes useful information about the artisans and their specific craft, and illustrations highlight the superb quality of the craftsmanship. The most distinctive sections come at the end. "The Encounters Continue" focuses on issues facing artisans, including intellectual property, valuation, and interpretation, while "From Words to People" features five one-day trips that can be taken to explore the daily life and culture of the people of Slovenia. Illustrated with 532 color photos, this volume is an essential purchase for collections in all types of art libraries.Stephen Allan Patrick, East Tennessee State Univ.

Above all else, Delhi's National Handcrafts and Handlooms Museum establishes the timeless tradition of Indian crafts. The stress here is not on antiquity but on continuity. Thus, there are metal-casting methods and pottery techniques that bear striking affinity -- indeed, that may be distinctly traced -- to those of Harappan times. And thoughout the county, weavers still sit at the simple looms that their forefathers used for centuries, producing textiles of the same surpassing beauty. Catalogue groupings are made on the basis of materials used for techniques followed, which is why a South Indian icon may be juxtaposed with a ritual mask from Himachai. These links transcend barriers of time and region, forming a network of intriguing similarities. Every effort is made in the Crafts Museum, as it was formerly called to proide the larger social context within which a particular item takes its place. Thus we are not confronted with mere objects encased in glass The first in a series of The Museums of India, this volume catalogues a specific collection; however it also serves as a handbook of India's folk arts and crafts. Through the Museum's continuing programme of workshops and live demonstrations by visiting craftspeople, the authors have gleaned a wealth of information on their everyday lives -- hitherto uncollated and unpublished -- and on the myths and legends that inspired them.

Excerpt from Art and Handicraft in the Woman's Building of the World's Columbian Exposition: Chicago, 1893The broad fact that able and earnest women from all quarters of the globe organized for the purpose of gathering evidence and demand ing a hearing by the court of assembled nations is generally known. The following pages - written by women eminent as pleaders in the cause - tell eloquently of the detail of their procedure and of the results so far attained.That their labors will immediately eventuate in the full realization of their hopes can not with reason be expected, but that their efforts have revealed the possession of unsuspected powers, and will disperse the mists of ignorant prejudice that at present cloud the question, can not be doubted.The publishers hail with pleasure the opportunity that the issuance of this volume affords them of adding to the light, and perhaps of hastening the coming of the day when woman will be emancipated from restraints imposed upon her by a worn-out conventionalism absurdly unsuited to our times and conditions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Canadian Handicrafts Guild broadened the definition of art and the artist in Canada. Linking decorative arts with home arts and handicrafts, the Guild consistently showed them together at annual exhibitions at the art gallery in Montreal and formed a permanent collection documenting old and contemporary crafts. The Guild women combined creativity and philanthropy, voluntarism and an entrepreneurial spirit, education and concern with quality, in a movement that provided income and recognition to craftspeople and a craft legacy to Canada. In Good Hands is alive with the interplay between art and social history, and the issues this dialogue raised at the time and those we bring to it now constantly overlap. It deals with noblesse oblige and the era's patronizing attitude to cultural difference, but shows how the Guild consciously fostered an inclusive national feeling by exhibiting and selling crafts of all Canadians on an equal footing. It also draws a much broader perspective of women's roles in shaping our culture than has been the norm in Canadian art history.

Originally printed in London in 1915 as a limited run of 175 copies, this is the 1976 London reprint of what was a remarkable book at the time. It accompanied an exhibition of well over a thousand objects, mounted to raise money for the British Red Cross and their efforts to help and care for the wounded soldiers of World War I. There is a lengthy and excellent introduction by Henri Joly and it is worth noting that almost every area of Japanese arts are covered here.
