ISBN: 9780821387030 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In 1998, Gary and Rosemary Barletta purchased seven acres of land on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake. Descending to the west from the state route that runs along on the ridge overlooking the lake, the land was fertile, rich with shalestone and limestone bedrock, and exposed to moderating air currents from the lake.

The Barlettas' story, as John C. Hartsock tells it, is a window onto the world of contemporary craft...
