They describe the inspirations for their work - family, tradition, the joy of the creative process, the challenge of design - and how it has become a part of their daily lives. "A brilliantly done series of studies", wrote one critic, "far more wide-ranging than its sturdy little title suggests... a fine and memorable work of economy, beauty, hunour and compassion". <28mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
