Over the last two weeks we’ve been sharing summaries of and extracts from some Wakefield Press gems, in blog posts put together by work experience student Maddy. (And yes, we briefly had two Maddys in the office!\u00a0Never enough Maddys, we say.) This is the last post of the series.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Cover<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nicholas\u00a0Folland<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>follows the life and work\u00a0of the well-known artist. This book displays Folland’s passion for jewels and other miscellaneous\u00a0translucent glassware, and how artfully he works an ambience into a piece. Stunning to look at, this book allows one to explore their taste in polished crystal and how they could work it into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Folland’s talent for transforming attractive objects into even more glamorous artworks transcends all expectations and leaves you breathless. Repurposing once-useless crystalware into pieces of history and identity which speak to the audience, Folland’s journey is set throughout the pages in an\u00a0essay format, easy to pore over and digest.<\/p>\n
