Illuminate - Contemporary Craft Lighting: Book Review
Perhaps you remember Hannah Nunn , whose paper cut lights I've featured on more than one occasion. She brings together makers of beautiful objects via her lighting and craft boutique Radiance [edit: now closed] in Hebdon Bridge, England. Hannah Nunn Fairy Lights Photograph: Hannah Nunn Reading Hannah's new book, illuminate: contemporary craft lighting , is a most enjoyable form of armchair traveling. She introduces the reader to more than forty artisans who create handmade lights around the world. Yes, Hannah has a knack for bringing people together, and like her shop, this book is a perfect medium for her talent. Cover light: Allison Patrick Photograph: Allison Patrick Of course there is a chapter on paper lighting, but the book includes much more... you'll learn about contemporary textile, ceramic, glass, print, wood, and metal lighting. There is also a chapter on recycled lights in which paper most definitely plays a role. Graypants S
