The book records vanishing traditional crafts for future generations to explore and contribute to the crafts and design landscape. A pastel is enclosed for them to discover our ancestors’ lost art as only we humans can help bring attention to the significance of this cultural heritage. The printing explores 3D embossing to accentuate the intricate details of artisans’ work. Multicolour pages show the milestones where the traditional trades began, the golden age and now slowly fading.
