About this product
Product Information
'It is pleasant to watch the quiet skilful worker. He sits low on a stool, the structural withies five feet long waving out in front of him as the hive turns round and round to his weaving. He has that look that comes to all men who work their wits against wild things, of thinking with their fingers.' On the eve of the Second World War the historian and artist, Dorothy Hartley, travelled by car and bicycle to document the crafts and cottage industries of England. Using photographs, meticulously drawn sketches and vivid descriptions, she created a fascinating panorama of skills and practices that have long vanished from the British Isles, such as thatching haystacks, making horse collars for field work or weaving crab pots from green willow. Made in England captures life before mechanisation and the industrialisation of the countryside. Today, the experience of rediscovering these fragments is strange and wondrous. Shining through is a deep appreciation of the skills and experience involved, from the fineness of a blacksmith's work to the delicacy needed to fell a tree, and the satisfaction of making things by hand with materials from landscapes close to home. Our new edition includes Dorothy Hartley's original drawings and photographs from the first edition published in 1939. Book jacket.
