Made in Ibiza: A Journey Into the Creative Heart of the White Island -- Liam Ald

<p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/><br><b><i>Made in Ibiza</i></b><b> is both a visual treat<br>and a fitting celebration of a dynamic creative scene that contributes so much<br>to the vitality of this unique Mediterranean island.</b></p><p><br></p><p> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/> <p/><br></p>It may be a top tourist destination, but - as this captivating new book<br>shows - there is far more to Ibiza than nightclubs and beaches. The island has<br>been at the center of Mediterranean life since the arrival of the Phoenicians<br>almost 3000 years ago. Over the centuries, other great civilizations left their<br>mark on this strategic trading post, and in the 20th century hippies and bohemians<br>famously found in Ibiza a refuge from conformity. To the present day, the<br>island continues to attract artists and craftspeople from around the world. Together<br>with native Ibizans who embrace the traditions of their forebears, these<br>foreign-born inhabitants form a vibrant creative community that plays a vital<br>role in maintaining the unique character of the 'White Island'.</p> <p/> </p> <p/>This book showcases the wealth of creative talent in Ibiza today. It shines<br>a bright Balearic light on some of the island's most inspirational artists and makers, <br>on their products and services, and on their studios and homes. This is a place of<br>great natural beauty, but - as Liam Aldous discusses in his introduction - there<br>are inherent limitations to making things work. Geographic isola
