How to make Russian Switchblade Knives
Switchblade knives remain highly popular, and in recent years an unusual variant has been making the rounds on the global collector's market. Built with a powerful coil spring along the back of the handle, these knives are rugged and dependable, snapping open under almost any conditions. Their exact origins are the subject of speculation - most agree they come from Russia or other former Soviet states. Some say they were made from parts of the Russian AK-47 assault rifle; others claim they were crafted in Russian prisons. What most examples have in common is their rough workmanship and use of simple materials. Still, their no-nonsense design makes them solid, practical tools for everyday use. That makes Russian-style switchblades an excellent project for hobbyist knife makers. If you already have some metalworking skills but aren't yet ready to tackle a high-end custom build, you'll enjoy creating this dependable style of knife. This book includes detailed construction drawings and full-size templates. "Easy Knifemaking" is a multi-volume series designed to help beginners get started in the craft of knife making without being overwhelmed. Each book focuses on the essential skills and knowledge you actually need - nothing more, nothing less. The emphasis is on creating knives as reliable, functional tools for daily use, not as display pieces or collector's items. With clear instructions, straightforward techniques, and practical designs, the series shows that anyone can make a good working knife with simple tools and materials.
Textile Protest
Artists, activism, and the historical power of cloth in protest. A landmark survey of how textiles have been used for political protest in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including banners, flags, clothing, and pieces from the world of fine art. Textile Protest showcases the richness and diversity of textiles that have been used to express resistance in its many forms. Protest textiles can be confrontational and explicit, satiric and subversive, or ironic and humorous, and can be used to bridge gaps following conflicts, or to challenge the contentious issues of language, ideology, or imbalances of power. Whether for social justice or peace, to demonstrate opposition to oppression or to celebrate liberty, to honor hope and equality or to express solidarity with others, people have made and united behind protest textiles for hundreds of years. This book forms a valuable history of their use. The book is thoughtfully illustrated with examples that include heavily embroidered suffragette and trade union banners, the knitted "pussy hats" of the 2017 Women's March, protest textiles from the Guerrilla Girls, Pride flags that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, and the vast variety of textile art in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. It also covers the rich history of fine art textiles with a political theme, such as Judy Chicago's iconic 1970s installation The Dinner Party, and includes interviews with prominent activist artists that give further insight into the way everyday materials can be repurposed to create arresting political art. Bold and subversive, beautiful and fascinating, Textile Protest is an important global exploration of how fabric has been used to make a political statement over the years.

Ceramica Y Cultura
Brought to Spain in the thirteenth century by Islamic artisans, the enameled earthenware known as may籀lica is decorated with a lead glaze to which tin oxide is added to create an opaque white surface. By the fifteenth century, several areas in Spain were well known throughout Europe for the quality of these ceramics, and with Spain's expansion into the New World the may籀lica tradition came into Mexico. There it underwent further changes, notably the use of indigenous design motifs and patterns inspired by Chinese porcelain. Over the next three centuries, the potters of New Spain produced ceramics characterized by a distinctive mestizo aesthetic. This tradition continues today in both Mexico and Spain.Assembled in connection with a major exhibition at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, this book moves discussion of may籀lica beyond its stylistic merits in order to understand it in historic and cultural context. The contributors, specialists in art and art history, architecture, anthropology, archaeology, and the folk arts, place the ceramics in history and daily life, illustrating their place in trade and economics. Examining both historic and contemporary examples, they also take us into the potters' workshops.

American Hooked and Sewn Rugs
In 1974 Joel and Kate Kopp were guest curators for the ground-breaking and very popular exhibition of hooked rugs held at the Museum of American Folk Art in New York. In that exhibition and in this book, first published in 1975, then expanded and reissued in 1985, the Kopps brought a new eye to the field and showed how the primitive imagery that appears in these rugs often parallels other categories of folk art. With over 230 illustrations, over half of them in color, the authors trace the development of the hooked rug, from its origins in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century yarn-sewn bed rugs to twentieth-century examples of hooked rugs.

Queen of Sicily and Gothic Stained Glass in Mussy and Tonnerre
Following the death of St. Louis, a new court fashion of ostentatious display was introduced into French stained glass with the advent of Queen Marie de Brabant, who in 1274 became the second wife of St. Louis's heir Philippe le hardi. Little stained glass in this new style survives, since the very motifs that made it different -- large donor 'portraits, ' elaborate heraldry, lavish name-inscriptions -- were targets of vandalism. This study reconstructs two ensembles in the new style, at Mussy-sur-Seine in southern Champagne & at the medieval hospital of Tonnerre in Burgundy. Both can be connected with the extraordinary figure of Marguerite de Bourgogne. Titled the Queen of Sicily, she was a revered agent of Christian charity of the Gothic era. 50+ illustrations.
