Fun with Felt (Chicken Socks) order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 20.00 each
Mixed-media pack
Author: Editors of Klutz
We see Fun with Felt as the feel-good hit of the year. Fifty fuzzy shapes magically grip to fuzzy pages for an endless supply of, well, warm fuzzies. Utterly clear instructions show how to form felt flowers, faces, bugs, animals, rockets and more. To give flat felt art a little pizzazz, we also threw in pompoms and a supply of rainbow yarn. And because felt is the kind of fun kids will want to take everywhere, we've wisely attached a snap-tight pouch to the cover.
Why is felt fun?
No glue. No mess. No fuss. No limits.

Aberhart : Laurence Aberhart Photographs - Finalist Montana Illustrative Award 2008 order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 125.00 each
Hardback
Author: Laurence Aberhart (Photos) & Gregory O'Brien (Essays) & Justin Paton (Essays)
Laurence Aberhart has been at the forefront of New Zealand photography since the late 1970s, and is recognised as a major international figure. Like the paintings of Colin McCahon — an artist with whom Aberhart is frequently paired — his photographs are a sustained meditation on time, place and cultural history. They are also virtuoso pieces of photographic craft.

This book is a landmark in New Zealand art publishing. In a definitive overview of Laurence Aberhart’s work to date, 240 full-page reproductions of iconic photographs of churches, marae, cemeteries, Masonic Lodges and other subjects are accompanied by illuminating essays by leading New Zealand art writers Gregory O'Brien and Justin Paton. O’Brien pursues the motif of the horizon through Aberhart’s work, considering the many journeys that his career encompasses and the shelters and structures seen along the way, while Paton focuses on the human presences that quietly ... more

Stephen Fry's Incomplete and Utter History of Classical Music order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 27.00 each
Paperback
Author: Stephen Fry As told to Tim Lihoreau
A riotous, rambling and incomplete history of classical music, complete with leg measurements.

"Hello, I'm Stephen Fry. Now time for the first outing of a brand, spanking new feature here on The Incomplete and Utter History of Classical Music… putting some unsuspecting figure in music under the spotlight."

In his Incomplete & Utter History of Classical Music, Stephen Fry presents a potted and brilliantly rambling 700-year history of classical music and the world as we know it. Along this musical journey he casually throws in references to pretty much whatever takes his fancy, from the Mongol invasion of Russia and Mr Khan (Genghis to his friends), the founding of the MCC, the Black Death (which once again became the new black in England), to the heady revolutionary atmosphere of Mozart's Don Giovanni and the deep doo-doo that Louis XVI got into (or du-du as the French would say).

Stone, Bone & Jade order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author: Salt, Donn
Stone, Bone and Jade documents the contemporary history of stone, bone and and jade carving in New Zealand through the words and works of twenty-six New Zealand artists. Four new artists and more recent work from the original artists are featured.

Carving is an art from that reaches back into the Maori tradition and this ancestry is reflected in the forms and styles of the works today. But, in keeping with New Zealand's multicultural past, other ethnic influences, from ancient Celtic to modern Scandinavian and Asian, combine to produce art works with a rich and diverse heritage. Included also within the words of the artists is invaluable information on tools and techniques of bone and stone carving.

This superbly produced book presents the best carving in stone, bone and jade in New Zealand today and fills an important gap in recording our arts and crafts.
