Reviews
Ireland has long been acknowledged for its outstanding craft tradition, from delicate Belleek porcelain to rugged knitted designs. Connolly does a grand job of reaffirming the vibrant existence of contemporary crafts in Irish towns today, and at the same time her personal expertise clearly enhances interviews she conducts while visiting workshops of craftspeople working throughout the country. There are basket makers and lace makers, potters, weavers, jewelers, and others engaged in age-old activities, such as thatching. Filled with glorious photographs of the landscape and of the work of talented artisans, this lovely book captures an intimate sense of Ireland and celebrates a spirit and an attitude that are somehow uniquely Irish. Alice Joyce
