  Everyone is familiar with the glowing colours and patterns of Provencal fabrics, ceramics and paints, and Crafts of Provence demonstrates how easily these can be used in today's interiors. Divided into chapters on Fabric, Metalwork, Ceramic, Pigment, Furniture and Garden, the book highlights local traditions such as the Souleiado factory at Tarascon and the ceramic manufacturing at Salerne, and then moves into the practical application of these products in the home. Step by step projects are simple yet infused with the warmth of Provence: from curtains to cushions to outdoor mosaic work and tiling. A useful glossary and address book of suppliers completes this practical recreation of Provencal style.
