Pioneering Crafts is a survey of the exceptional range of craft skills that evolved in Australia where the alternative to making do was doing without. With simple, often handmade tools, bush artisans fashioned a wealth of articles, functional, utilitarian, recreational, massive and minute, all devised with the aim of sustaining and enhancing life.
