About the book

"Objects for Use: Handmade by Design pays tribute to a geographically and culturally diverse group of American craftspeople who combine function and beauty in the creation of unique handmade objects. Published on the occasion of a groundbreaking exhibition at the American Craft Museum, this panoramic survey of contemporary craft showcases the accomplished work currently being done in individual workshops and small studios all over the country.". "The book's two essays by Paul J. Smith and Akiko Busch, focus on the role of craft and design in contemporary life. To illustrate the range of creativity and practice in studio workshops today, individual profile's of twenty-five artists reflect on their work and offer illuminating glimpses into their lifestyles. Shorter biographies of the nearly two hundred craftspeople represented in the book are also included."--BOOK JACKET.
