Description

Fulfilled by our friends at Schiffer Publishing

Explore one of America’s most creative cities in a new way with the trailblazer for city-based studies of contemporary craft. For craft and history enthusiasts alike, this collection of essays from writers and curators connects Philadelphia’s heritage to its current stature as a national craft capital. We discover how small workshops for fabric, wool, ceramics, and textile starting as early as 1751 grew into the still expanding craft world that Philadelphia has today. A useful example: the Liberty Bell cracked on the very first attempt to make it sound, and had to be recast twice and remolded with additional copper to improve its alloy. Today, it remains an unbeatable icon of Philadelphia craft. Contributions by Elisabeth Agro, Sarah Archer, Chad Curtis, Anthony Elms, Elizabeth Essner, Michelle Millar Fisher, Jessica Kourkounis, Don Miller, Jennifer-Navva Milliken, Heather Gibson Moqtaderi, Kelli Morgan, and Jennifer Zwilling.[AuthorName]Glenn Adamson[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]CraftNOW Philadelphia was launched in 2015 as an initiative with the mission to promote Philadelphia as a national center for craft makers, scholars, curators, educators, and cultural devotees locally, nationally, and internationally. www.craftnowphila.org[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]114 color images[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]Philadelphia's Cultures of Making[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]114 color images[/ColorPattern]
