Synopsis
This is a practical approach to the theory of visual language, taking
the basics of line, shape, tone, colour, texture, form, scale, space
and light and discussing how to use them. The first half of the book
talks about how artists can use these elements to create their own
visual language and how this can be applied to develop their own work.
This text is illustrated with the ceramic work of David Cohen. The
second half of the book is divided into sections, each written by a
prominent crafts person, expounding on how they have developed and used
their own visual language. These craftspeople are: Alison Kinnaird
(glass engraver), Jack Cunningham (jeweller), John Creed (metalworker), Graham Stewart (silversmith) and Anna King (weaver).
