Once Poland shrugged off the yolk of communism and embraced capitalism a profound change in the work place started to occur.  Government support for the folk arts began to dwindle. The crafts that flourished in the countryside have fallen on hard times.  The younger generations are losing interest in continuing these handicrafts.   What are these crafts?  Basketmaking, woodworking, carving, barrel making, pottery making, metalworking, weaving, beekeeping and more.  This Polish language book covers all of these crafts with great detail, many color photographs and illustrations.
