Versatility, innovation, inspiration - thats what The Masters series offers crafters, with an engaging and up-to-date survey of the finest contemporary work by approximately 40 leading artists in specific media. Beadweaving takes the spotlight here and readers will find the showcased pieces eye-opening in their originality. Each highlighted master takes center stage in an informative eight-page feature that includes nearly a dozen gorgeous, high-quality photographs and a short essay by the curator placing the impressive work and its creator in context. These outstandingly talented and imaginative artists include Valerie Hector, whose beaded designs are a statement in bold modernity; Jeanette Ahlgren, who fashions intricate loom-woven vessels with subtle gradations in colour and graphic, geometric patterns; and Marcia DeCoster, who uses her right angle weave techniques to create shimmering jewellery in rich jewel tones. Beadweaver and author Carol Wilcox Wells serves as the judge of this remarkable collection.
