Reviews
American decorative folk art is sometimes considered nostalgia, but contemporary craftspeople know that it never really went away. This is an attractive survey collection of two dozen projects for familiar items, such as samplers, decoys, and copper weathervanes, that have been designed by professional artists. Each type of craft has a historic introduction and is illustrated by photographs of museum and gallery pieces. Although there is little here that cannot be found in books devoted to individual crafts, this is a handy all-in-one source for public libraries lacking an extensive collection of specialized craft books.
