Introduces the flourishing community of artisans in Ireland, including weavers, cheesemakers, shoemakers and oatmeal millers. Illustrated with photographs, and including personal accounts of how and why this group of people eschew contemporary mass-production, this work shows how their work acts as a natural extension of their values and world.
In a world where you can find the same cup coffee on every corner and goods may be mass produced thousands of miles away from where they are sold, it is both thrilling and reassuring to discover a thriving group of people working quietly with local Irish materials to create high quality products that are uniquely their own. In "Cottage Industry", Betsy Kline, introduces the still flourishing community of artisans in Ireland, including weavers, cheesemakers, shoemakers and oatmeal millers. Beautifully illustrated with insightful photographs, and fleshed out with personal accounts of how and why this group of people continue to eschew contemporary mass-production industry in favour of high-quality and deeply personal private business, it is shown how their work acts as a natural extension of their values and world, whose heartbeat continues to beat loudly beneath the roar of the Celtic Tiger.
