In the Making

The limited-edition book In the Making, commissioned by De Sousa Hughes, celebrates the makers who have grown with them for twenty years and offers incredible insight into their creative process, dedication, and craftsmanship. The book features tactile papers, embossing, and original illustrations bound together into an object intended to inspire readers to slow down, breathe, and immerse themselves in the beauty of craft. We commissioned Zürich-based illustrator Paula Troxler to create original and witty illustrations for the “Seeds of Wisdom,” a special section that features quotes from the makers. The source for the cover is Tanzender Stern (Dancing Star), 2000, a signature nail-embossed print by German sculptor and installation artist Günther Uecker.
