Book Description
This book endeavors to inspire people to bring the native plants of their region into their gardens, into their homes and into decorative arrangements. California in a Vase is an odyssey in the art of floral design - a voyage that takes us into the Golden State's most rugged wildlands, back to our home gardens and ultimately to a vase. This is a book with a message: that the plants that define our home offer resounding beauty in any arrangement. The book features floral designs made using California native plants from The Gottlieb Native Garden and California Botanic Garden, arrangements that are refined, rustic, bold, delicate, evocative, colorful, spirited and more - as native plants can achieve any style while always speaking to a uniquely Californian aesthetic. When we make arrangements with California native plants - always supplied by home gardens, backyards, patios or balconies - we invite Californian's wild beauty into our homes. In so doing, we celebrate what makes our home special while creating habitat and supporting local fauna in the process. California in a Vase tells this story through masterful designs made at The Gottlieb Native Garden and California Botanic Garden.

Athenian Vase Construction
Author: Toby Schreiber
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892364653
Category : Pottery
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Based on her study of Greek pottery sherds and vases and on her profound hands-on knowledge of pottery construction techniques, including experiments with the potting of Attic shapes, Toby Schreiber describes how ancient Greek potters constructed their vases. Drawn in large part from vases and fragments in the collection of the Getty Museum, the many photographs that accompany the text show how much even seemingly insignificant sherds may reveal about technique when studied by someone knowledgeable about potting. The drawings - all done by the author - demonstrate step by step with admirable clarity how the potter executed his craft. Written by a master potter, this is a book both for those who know little or nothing about potting techniques and for those who already have an understanding of these matters.

Breaking Vases
Author: Dima Ghawi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780997809350
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Breaking Vases powerfully and vividly captures the rich heritage of one woman's Middle East, along with its brutal realities, which followed Dima Ghawi from her native Jordan to her adopted country, the United States. Brought up in a small, conservative Christian community in Amman, Dima learned to be quiet and subservient to her elders and to men. When she was just five, Dima's beloved grandmother warned that a woman's greatest responsibility was to preserve her image-one as fragile as a glass vase-and the honor of her family's reputation. Anything less was shameful. Yet her grandmother also planted a seed: the simple hope that Dima could graduate from college and become the first formally educated woman in her family. At nineteen, hoping to free herself from cultural constraints and her father's turbulent temper, she accepted a traditional marriage proposal from an older, affluent, and seemingly Western-minded jeweler. Newly married and in a state of naive love, she happily uprooted her life in Amman and moved with him to California. But San Diego's "Little Middle East" was not her American dream. She soon realized that her husband was more traditional and controlling than she had imagined. Changing her circumstances would be dangerous and require courage Dima had never known before. Nevertheless, she was determined to transform her destiny, even if it meant standing alone and facing life-threatening consequences. Her memoir captures the terrors and joys of escaping confinements, crossing continents, and daring to discover and create a bold identity and life purpose.
