Crafts

Mixed media in all its forms — not just traditional, two-dimensional, paper-based collage but three-dimensional pieces that include fiber, fabric, embellishments, found objects, and even repurposed and recycled materials — offers artists an opportunity to move freely across the boundaries of art, craft, painting, quilting, and collage.

Two things set this book apart from other collage, mixed media, and assemblage titles: the projects (full of oddities and the unexpected), and the techniques — several of which have never appeared in print before.

We make to give.
