Product Description
Massachusetts' Pioneer Valley is more than the geographic center of New England; it is the region's heartland. The fertile fields and wooded hills along the banks of the Connecticut River have attracted a remarkable group of artists and craftspeople who use traditional hand tools and techniques, arguably the largest such concentration in the United States.

In the first book about the artisans of the Pioneer Valley, author Jeanne Braham profiles ten artists who work in the fields of book arts, woodworking, glassblowing, pottery, and quilting. Each artist describes in detail one of his or her favorite pieces and invites readers inside their studio spaces.
