It offers clear step-by-step instructions with over 300 specially commissioned photographs. It presents a contemporary approach to working with timeless, natural materials.

This is a unique collection of 25 practical ideas for decorating your home, created by a professional artisan. Every project is self-contained, and step-by-step photographs guide the reader through each stage.\nThe introductory section covers some of the basic skills and equipment required, while exploring the different materials involved. For inspiration, there is a gallery of original pieces from contemporary artists. With its inventive designs, this is the first practical craft book to explore the beautiful potential of these natural materials.","brand":"Anness Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32041971941459,"sku":"9780754828365","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780754828365.jpg?v=1764464445","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/new-crafts-sticks-stones","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
