New Zealand Maori arts and crafts. By Glen Pownall

Hardback, very good condition, minor scuff marks to edges, dustwrapper faded spine, 20mm closed tear, shelf/edge wear. Published by Seven Seas publishing 1976, first edition, 160 pages, B&W and coloured illustrations.

Book looks at Maori themes, patterns, and design elements in arts and crafts. Also looked at are modern materials and contemporary tools and techniques for reproducing articles with a Maori theme. 'Maori themes, patterns and design elements . the conventional methods of producing Maori craft work are not neglected but are treated as of consequence secondary to the need of New Zealanders to use the designs and motifs of the past in work they create themselves.'
