Shells by Mary Maguire
The use of shells as both practical and decorative objects is among the oldest and simplest arts known to man. Coast-dwelling people have exploited this natural resource as ready-made containers, vessels, jewellery, musical instruments and even currency. Later the variety of textures, shapes and sizes found in shells made them an extremely popular medium for decoration. This manual presents 25 practical projects that make use of shells to create functional and decorative objects. The projects include a simple necklace of small shells and a drift wood and shell mirror.
Mary Maguire studied Fine Art and Textiles at Goldsmith's College, London, and gained an MA at the Royal College of Art in Metal work and Jewellery. Since then she has continued to develop and exhibit her work in various different media. Mary has written widely on crafts, including Wirework, Polymer Clay, Shells and Sticks and Stones.
