Excerpt from More Baskets and How to Make Them The interest in basketry which began in this country some three years ago is on the increase rather than on the wane. This may seem surpris ing to the uninitiated, but those who have made baskets will understand it. Basketry has proved itself. In schools and social settlements one notes the contrast between the beginners' mats and baskets, loosely woven and crude in form, and the graceful forms and solid weaving of experienced young craftsmen. A well-made basket shows more than dexterity and skill: it stands for patience and stick-to-it-iveness, and has the value of all good work. Best of all, children love the craft and would rather weave baskets or wander afield in search of natural material for weaving or dyes than do anything else you can suggest.

Writing on clay is as old as history because that's basically where history begins - clay records are among the oldest on earth. Writing on clay started as an ancient form of communication and has gradually evolved into an art form in its own right. In Lettering on Ceramics, Mary White shows how this tradition has developed, covering methods of imposing letters onto clay, including stamping, stencils, slip trailing, resist methods, carving and relief work among others. She also looks at a number of artists working in this area, showing beautiful examples of their work, and examining their approach and methods of lettering. Also included is a selection of calligraphic alphabets to use for inspiration or to copy.ContentsBrief History covers lettering on ceramics from the 6th century BC to modern times.Tools and Materials briefly discusses clays, glazes and colors (although this book is from England so they say colours.)In the chapter on Methods, White discusses the various methods for lettering including brush, sponge, stencils, resists, applying color, slip-trailing, impressed, engraved, raised, decals and more.Form illustrates how slabs, panels, tiles, murals, coiled forms, cubes, pebble pots and bowls all make suitable surfaces for lettering.White includes nine sample Alphabets to use as a guide and explains a few of the finer points about type and calligraphy.The final chapter includes Artists using Lettering in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Holland, North Africa, Switzerland and the United States.

Relentless tells the story of the rise of Cork ladies football over the past decade. From having never won a senior title in the county's 31-year history of the sport, to winning nine All-Ireland titles in 10 years, nine National League titles, and 10 Munster titles. Eamonn Ryan stepped in to coach at a time when the senior set-up was in disarray. Along with manager Mary Collins, Cork football was transformed to begin a legacy they could never have imagined. This is the story behind the scenes of the Cork ladies footballers and what makes them one of the best teams in the history of Irish sport.
