Throughout history, tabletop decoration has been at the nexus of utilitarian function and innovative design. In At the Artisan's Table, designers and event producers Jane Schulak and David Stark pair historical table wares from the world's finest design museums with pieces by an international array of contemporary artisans who reinterpret traditional crafts and styles, including Aptware (marbled clay), blue and white Delft, chinoiserie, faux bois, plaster, splatterware, and trompe l'oeil. Each chapter features a museum object that serves as a "muse"; the work and studio of the artist who has updated the traditional craft; and gorgeous table settings designed by Schulak and Stark that incorporate the artist's handmade wares and provide inspiration for everyone who has ever wished to wow their dinner guests.
