The Workshop: Celebrating the Place Where Craftsmanship Lives (By Scott Gibson, The Taunton Press, 202 pages, hard cover, $34.95) Workshops may seem like ordinary places for tools, but to artisans, craftsmen, enthusiasts and dreamers, they are spaces where their dreams take shape into something beautiful and tangible. The Workshop embraces a creative lifestyle, an intimate tribute to art and artisan in the space where an idea becomes reality. This book offers a guided tour behind more than 30 shops, a rare glimpse into the lives of America’s woodcrafters. Each chapter tells the story of an artist, including boatbuilders, woodworking teachers, professional furniture makers, turners, carvers and luthiers.
