Book description
Tired of the clichés often trotted out about craft, Perri Lewis
makes it her task to bring the world of making into the 21st century.
In Material World, Perri enlists the help of luminaries from
the worlds of art, craft, design and fashion to share their knowledge
and advice. Among these include Rob Ryan, Emma Bridgewater, Grayson
Perry, Philip Treacy, Tatty Devine, Topshop and Tracey Emin. Instead
of just giving the reader individual projects, you can learn the
techniques for crafts such as paper-cutting, dress-making, printing,
encrusting, leather work and tailoring. However, if you prefer more
guidance, there are 15 projects to make, including découpage shoes, a
patchwork Louis chair and a printed scarf.
With the compiled words of wisdom of these experts, and Perri's own
timeless advice, you'll be up and running with scissors in no time.
Perri writes about craft for the Guardian, the Daily
Mail and Mollie Makes and is the features editor of
Psychologies. She has her own blog, a go-to site for
crafters: makeanddowithperri. wordpress. com
