I really like this book, there is a lot of good work. For those of you who had a fit about the unwearable jewelry in the various 500 jewelry books: many of these vessels are non functional. So I don't want to hear your complaints like, "I don't see how anyone could use that teapot..."

Another triumph in the Lark series. Being a felt and fibre artist, I love to see what others are doing and this book gives inspiration. The photography is stunning, the pieces are spectular and the price is just plain awesome. Considering here in Australia we pay $40-50 per book, I am a happy Amazon customer.

I got this book for my husband, a blacksmith, to inspire him. Even though he may not always be creating vessels, the variety of forms, surface treatments, and overall concepts is fabulous. We both loved looking through it. We wished there was more description of process by the artists (there were quotes from them just sporadically), so that we could further investigate!

I love ALL of the 500 books from Lark. They are great for inspiration and for learning new artists. I have almost the whole series!
