Inhaltsangabe

The Tenth Edition of the essential Craft Galleries Guide is celebrating 20 years of promoting contemporary British craft. Since the first 1992 edition featuring just 20 galleries, the Guide has steadily grown in size and popularity, being updated and enlarged bi-annually, and is now considered to be "the Bible" for craft lovers. It highlights over 130 top quality craft galleries throughout the UK, exhibiting applied arts that range through jewellery, beautiful work in ceramics, textiles, glass and wood, sculpture, and mixed-media artworks. Each gallery has a feature page followed by a page or more to showcase a selection of their regular makers' work. The whole book is beautifully illustrated with color photographs.

A special celebratory section to this 2009/10 Guide will profile 10 of the original galleries of the first edition and feature 10 essays on the craft scene today by prominent contributors to previous editions. The rest of the Guide will contain the well established format of galleries, divided regionally, giving a mix of well established and brand new galleries to tempt the reader to pursue their interest in contemporary crafts.
