Making Matters: In Search of Creative Wonders
ISBN-13: 9781529346299 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 320 str.
As children, we made things: snowmen, paper boats, eccentrically costumed plays. That making fired our minds and imaginations - it altered our small worlds and shaped who we became. But as adults, it is hard to find to find the space for creativity and to remember its power. Exploring craft traditions and forms of making from across centuries and cultures, Clare Hunter encourages to engage with the world afresh. To use our hands again, to see beauty in unexpected places, to play and protest and embrace imaginative possibilities. She explores paper crafts and fabric projects, even light and snow, in search of creative delight - making lanterns, puppets and pinhole cameras. Inspiring and fascinating, Making Matters celebrates individual and collective creativity. It blends history, culture and politics with rich storytelling, wonderful characters and tales of remarkable objects. Read this, and then make something. PRAISE FOR THREADS OF LIFE: "An astonishing feat . . . Her highly impressive debut is a richly textured and moving record of a history that has largely being lost" Sunday Times "Enthralling...beautiful... An inspiring and moving sideways look at history" Sunday Express "A beautifully considered book . . . Clare Hunter has managed to mix the personal with the political with moving results" Tracy Chevalier
