This is the tell-all, show-all guide to making a living by making things. Featuring 25 profiles of illustrators, jewelry designers, ceramicists, painters, clothing designers, and printmakers, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the daily rituals and best practices that keep these creative entrepreneurs on track.
Each profile features a Q & A, day-in-the-life, and dazzling DIY project—including hand-forged bangle bracelets, woven coasters, and copper-leaf notebooks—to spark your creativity. The engaging text is paired alongside Abbott’s charming photographs of the makers in action as they paint, sculpt, print, forge, cut, and dye their work.
