“There has been an enormous resurgence in interest in folk art, also known as tole painting, with its colourful and eye-catching designs.  You do not need to be artistically gifted in order to produce your own beautiful examples of this picturesque craft, which involves scenes, on wooden or metal furniture and homeware – small or big, old or new.  You simply follow the patterns and instructions set out for each of the designs, and there are photographs to show how to do many of the techniques and procedures step by step.”
