内容简介：
Transformation marks the 20th anniversary of the Prix Saidye Bronfman Award. It is both a celebration of the arts and crafts in Canada and an acknowledgment of the work of Canada's finest craftspeople. This publication provides a critical context, outlining the history of crafts in Canada and discussing the placement of craft in a museum environment. It also gives the reader an appreciation of how raw materials become finished works, and how concepts take form in the hands of the featured craftspeople. In addition, the book presents craft traditions expressed in new and unconventional ways, and points to changing attitudes towards the aesthetic value of functional objects.
