Description:

Craft Art in South Africa applauds the fine craft of craft art and amplifies creative intersections such as sculpture, ceramics, pottery, craft, fibre works and art. The interdisciplinary nature of the creativity of South African craft artists is admired in each of the eight chapters which focus on a separate material-technique concept. 'Recycling', for example, involves a variety of materials, such as metal, paper, plastic and glass, and several techniques, such as folding, cutting and painting, to name but a few. This is neither a reference book, nor is it an exhaustive book on craft, art or design in South Africa, as it is impossible to include the breadth of this in the scope of one publication. In these pages author Elbé Coetsee embraces South Africa's creative diversity and shares some of the pieces that delights her. Craft Art in South Africa endeavours to inspire, encourage and bring joy.
