From tile makers, table cross carvers, and quill embroiderers. In the Alpine region, there is an incredible variety of old and almost forgotten craftsmanship. We introduce extraordinary individuals who are completely dedicated to their craft and showcase the special items they create with much time, love, and skill. Achim Schneyer has set out to uncover stories about nearly forgotten craft traditions in the Alpine region. He has compiled reports about people, their professions and callings, the results of their work, and how they keep traditional arts alive through knowledge passed down from generation to generation. We visit an alphorn maker, participate in straw hat weaving, watch a cutlery smith at work, and learn how to make antler buttons. This magnificent volume showcases the entire diversity.
