She decides to learn Spanish, and in Mexico she soon meets some surprising kindred spirits. An admirer of craft and expertise, Niemann seeks out individual artists who make exquisite things--Otomi papermakers, the families who produce the famous ceramics of Mata Ortiz, the man in Michoac n who knows how to fashion full-size jaguar thrones in bent cane.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of her searches lead her to tiny villages and to artists who seldom get to meet their own fans. Niemann wonders if she is experiencing an ordinary shopaholic's obsession or if this is something more. The something more reveals itself as the connection of one artist to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Grant Niemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Mexico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826358752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNiemann, Linda Grant:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLinda Grant Niemann\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of English at Kennesaw State University.
