Ashford Book of New Zealand Folk Art

Using her experience as a teacher, Maryke now shares her skills with a wider audience through the Ashford Book of New Zealand Folk Art. Along with clear, straightforward advice on basic equipment and supplies, preparation of surfaces, brush strokes, advanced techniques and special effects, Maryke provides plans worksheets and detailed instructions for a number of projects based on the traditional, wooden craft items produced by Ashford Handicrafts. These include a spinning wheel and chair, country-style trays, a flower press and much-loved objects such as a dollhouse, a rocking horse and a teddy bear Christmas tree.
