Book SynopsisHow to make cold-process soap (soap from scratch) using only natural fragrances, colorants, and texture additives.Trade ReviewDec 13 This is a wonderful introduction to soap making. It includes 12 recipes to make soap and the instructions are very easy to understand. If you are new to soap making I expect it's a bit like taking up baking - you need a few moulds and cutters but once you get over the initial gathering of materials it could be lots of fun and save quite a bit of money. The emphasis is on natural ingredients - essential oils, medicinals such as coconut milk or vitamin E and natural colourings such as rose clay for pink or alkanet root powder for purple. The soaps are so pretty but look natural so would be nice to sell as natural vegan soap which is more durable and longer lasting than some vegan soaps which don't use caustic soda. Elizabeth has included sections on how to use up soap scraps, how to make nugget soap, how to stamp and how to make swirled soap. If you dream of making your own soap which is free from the heap of additives it's sold with in the shops then this is the perfect book. * sewingisforgirls.blogspot.com *

Book SynopsisTrade Review“Atelier 17 . . . transformed the printmaking landscape in the US. Women’s contributions to that process come to life in this wide-ranging and thoughtful book.”—Hyperallergic“With scholarship about women artists having been mostly neglected until the latter half of the twentieth century, it is rewarding to see the burgeoning literature on women in the arts, including this fascinating book on the women printmakers of Atelier 17.”—Natalia Lonchyna, ARLIS/NA Reviews“Weyl elucidates the material innovation and aesthetic strength of the prints made by women artists at Atelier 17 and weaves their previously overlooked achievements into the central narrative of postwar art.”—Samantha Rippner, Print Quarterly“A pleasure to read. [Weyl’s] nuanced and well-informed explanations of thematic and technical details help readers to understand both components of illustrated prints. Additionally, her conjoining of historical narrative with a persuasive feminist analysis reminds readers of the complex intersections of aesthetics with gendered cultural politics in every aspect of artists’ lives and works.”—Helen Langa, Woman’s Art Journal“In this timely and impressively thorough examination Christina Weyl sets the record straight.”—Emma Gregory, Printmaking TodayWinner of the 2020 IFPDA Foundation Book Award, sponsored by the International Fine Print Dealers Association“Christina Weyl marshals impressive archival research to excavate the lives and social networks of women printmakers in Atelier 17 and offers convincing and beautifully described accounts of the strength and innovation of their work.”—Jennifer L. Roberts, Harvard University“In this compelling study, Christina Weyl illuminates mid-twentieth century American women printmakers’ formidable accomplishments in the face of art-world prejudice against their chosen medium and broader societal bias against their gender.”—Paula Wisotzki, Loyola University Chicago
