Synopsis

A visually stunning survey of some of the finest worldwide handmakers, the spaces in which they work and the products they create, Made By Hand serves as a remedy to mass production and a celebration of the return to artisan craft. Made By Hand takes the reader through tailors, shoemakers, stationers, watchmakers, instrument makers, cosmeticists and more, profiling these makers with images of themselves, their workshops, products and techniques. By focusing on the choice these artisans have made to craft goods in an age where mass-produced, imported wares are cheaper and easier to produce, the book is a celebration of the return to the organic, the hand-made and the home-grown, at a time when owning carefully crafted products is considered environmentally friendly and economy boosting, and ultimately fashionable. Made By Hand is framed as an address to hand craft as an environmentally friendly and economically healthy resurgence that is not only nostalgic, but also progressive and productive.

Revue de presse

Today, in our acutely capitalist world where time is money, products are no longer built to last, but seem timed to brake down. Not only are objects no longer value for money but the connection to an object and its maker, as well as the result of a handmade, more creative process, has been lost to mass production. Underestimated and underrated, the handmade is enjoying somewhat of a global renaissance and Black Dog Publishing's Made by Hand profiles a whole generation of artisans making waves int he field around the world. --weheart.co.uk
