Description

Temporary natural arrangements have captivated people across the world. Learn how a professional artist creates these outdoor installations, and get inspired to create your own with a detailed look at the outdoor world of artist James Brunt. Brunt makes art that works with the environment while not changing it or having a permanent impact on the world in which he creates. Whether on a beach or in the woods, playing and creating can lead to a sense of calm and connection to nature.

With a collection of new and previously unseen works, Brunt combines imagery and words to share how harnessing the power of nature helps us stay connected and grounded in an increasingly fast-paced world. His "Invitations to Play" ask you to take some time out, go outside, immerse yourself in natural surroundings, and explore your own creative interactions, using natural materials like stones, leaves, wood, and more in the environment in which they're found.

James Brunt is a landscape artist whose natural arrangements are followed by a huge online audience. His workshops are in great demand, and he was selected as Spotlight Artist of the Week by the World of Arts Awards. He lives in Yorkshire, UK. www.jamesbruntartist.co.uk

Reviews
"His affinity with nature, its patterns, textures, colors, and seasons, speak volumes in the work he creates . . . a must-have page turner, filled with timeless, beautiful inspirations that will resonate with anyone interested in the true art of nature and what it is to be human. Go buy it!" -- James Craig Page, director, European Stone Stacking Championships
"Brunt responds directly to his given location . . . he is one of the most accomplished environmental assemblage artists living today." -- Mark Antony Haden Ford, land artist, Weaver from Two Circles Design
"James has been inspiring students at the International School of Dusseldorf for many years. We use his work in our second grade 'Art is in Nature' unit to explore the ways nature inspires artists to create, and also to spark ideas when students are creating artworks of their own."
-- Simon Waterworth, ES outdoor learning teacher; coordinator, Duke of Edinburgh's International Award
nbsp;"An arresting manual on making art from natural materials . . . suited for sparking the imagination . . . the exhilarating images of Brunt's pieces are the real treat, featuring simple yet elegant designs of pebbles arrayed in concentric circles next to a creek and a cluster of trees surrounded by curving lines of sticks that make it look as if the dirt were rippling outward. Readers will be inspired to follow their muse to the great outdoors." -- Publishers Weekly
"James doesn't allow his work to become complicated and he doesn't burden himself with tools and equipment and fancy techniques . . . He instills a sense of wonder as if every leaf and twig has magical powers." -- Sean Corcoran, environmental artist; artistic director, The Art Hand, Waterford, Ireland

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
