Edited by Steven R. Schepp

"A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated guide to mid-century craftsmanship and timeless DIY artistry."

🎨 CRAFTS & HOBBIES | DIY | VINTAGE REFERENCE

The fourteenth installment in a definitive 24-volume encyclopedia of creative projects, featuring step-by-step instructions for traditional and modern handcrafts.

Extended Synopsis

The Family Creative Workshop series represents one of the most ambitious undertakings in craft publishing, designed to provide families with high-caliber, practical education in a wide array of artistic disciplines. Volume 14 follows the alphabetical progression of the series, beginning with the delicate paper-scrolling art of Quilling and concluding with the functional and decorative techniques of Rope Knotting.

This volume is noted for its rich, full-color illustrations and clear, technical diagrams that make complex projects accessible to hobbyists of all skill levels. Like its counterparts in the 24-volume set, it serves as both a historical record of 1970s artisanal trends and a relevant handbook for modern makers interested in tactile, manual arts. Each entry includes detailed materials lists and professional tips to ensure successful project completion.
