"The editors of Country Living magazine present their favorite folk art pieces from hundreds of homes around the country in this new book. Living with Folk art is designed to inform and inspire anyone interested in exploring this rich field. Part I sets the stage by exploring the origins of some of the most popular folk art forms today, including the traditions and techniques brought here by America's immigrants. In addition to a rich European heritage, the colorful pottery and textiles of Mexico and Central America, the baskets and weavings of Native Americans, and the supremely elegant and simple handicrafts of the Shaker community are covered in fascinating detail. Part II takes a room- by-room tour, illustrating how folk art can be effectively used and displayed in entries and halls, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. Tips for mounting textiles and protecting baskets, china, and utensils are also included. Finally, a detailed glossary explains the most frequently used folk art terms and techniques." 0506N0000C8 Crafts Art
