‘The Maker’ Book by Tamara Maynes.

A craft book unlike any other, The Maker – Beyond Decorating: Crafting A Unique Space, is a 274 page considered ode to makers and making. In The Maker, author, maker and stylist, Tamara Maynes embraces modernity, nostalgia, design and craftsmanship to illustrate the joy a making practise can bring to the individual and the depth it’s output can add to a space. It’s pages are curated according to Wall Art, Objects, Textiles, Ceramics, Lighting and Furniture, while the overall message is encouraged further by featuring the work and insightful words of over forty local and international modern makers.

With outstanding book design by Tracy Lines and beautiful photography by Eve Wilson, The Maker, published by Murdoch Books, dances between inspirational and informative through the inclusion of chapters on the history of making, introductory making projects, and a glossary for techniques, tools and raw materials.
