This work presents a comprehensive overview of the decorative arts and crafts as manifested in the late 1990s. It exposes the works of 152 professionals specializing in the five traditional craft media of wood, glass, clay, fibre and metal including exeperienced craftspeople who are recognized as leaders, as well as mid-term and younger practitioners. All are exploring ideas and honing skills as they reaffirm or push the boundaries of tradition, or extend the cutting edge of innovation, and all are uncompromising in their efforts to "master the medium". This book is not only a survey of the achievements and directions in the professional contemporary decorative arts in Australia, but also a celebration of the sensual appeal of fine craftsmanship. It should appeal to anyone interested in late 20th-century Australian decorative arts or professional crafts, be they practitioners, collectors, curators, historians or educators.
