Salt, Donn
Published by:
David Bateman Ltd
Stone, Bone and Jade documents the contemporary history of stone, bone and and jade carving in New Zealand through the words and works of twenty-six New Zealand artists. Four new artists and more recent work from the original artists are featured.
Carving is an art from that reaches back into the Maori tradition and this ancestry is reflected in the forms and styles of the works today. But, in keeping with New Zealand's multicultural past, other ethnic influences, from ancient Celtic to modern Scandinavian and Asian, combine to produce art works with a rich and diverse heritage. Included also within the words of the artists is invaluable information on tools and techniques of bone and stone carving.
This superbly produced book presents the best carving in stone, bone and jade in New Zealand today and fills an important gap in recording our arts and crafts.

Flameworking

Elizabeth Ryland Mears
Published by:
LBOOKS
You can easily form beads, candlesticks, figures, and art objects from just a rod of cold glass and a torch. Heat it, manipulate it a bit, and almost instantaneously beautiful and new shapes emerge from the fire. That's flameworking. A top teacher of the craft explains how to do it all, providing exactly the same information and exercises she gives her beginner workshops. Lavish illustrations capture the entire artistic process. Look into the different types of glass to choose from, and find out about safety and equipment (including a wide range of torches). Begin by "melting" a ball at different points of the rod; flatten the ball into a disc; and form other shapes like hearts, wings, butterflies, and the moon. Turn those designs into jewelry, hanging sculptures, and stirrers. Fuse glass to glass, make a candleholder, and try several methods for adding color. The results are amazing! 8 1/2 X 10. all in color
