About the Book

The Invisible Line: When Craft Becomes Art is a compilation of seven West Coast artisans thoughts on a subject that is normally left to art historians and PhD candidates. The contributors are all at the top of their respective fields and have been self-employed most of their careers, which gives them a unique insight into the question at hand. Copious photos of their exquisite work offer readers a window into their world.

About the Author :
Larry Robinson (Valley Ford CA) has been building guitars since 1972 and specializing in inlaying since 1984. He has has customers on six continents; his work has been featured in many museum shows and is in permanent collections of the CF Martin Co., Fender Instruments, Gibson Guitars, and private collectors. David Giulietti (Berkeley, CA) works in his studio creating jewelry pieces of enduring beauty and also engraves commissions for private clients around the world. John Mayer, Katy Perry, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, Jackson Browne, and David Grisman all have David's work in their collections. He worked on the Millionth Martin Guitar with world-class inlay artist Larry Robinson, and his work has been exhibited at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, California. Bob Hergert (Port Orford, OR) started doing scrimshaw in 1978, strongly influenced by the Bellingham school in Washington State. A chance meeting with Eric Galletta of Galletta Guitars opened the door for Bob to do scrimshaw work for the Allman Brothers Band, the Beach Boys, and many other guitarists. He continues to work with other luthiers and inlay artists, including Larry Robinson and Harvey Leach. He collaborated with Leach on Martin Guitar's 1.5 millionth guitar – “da Vinci Unplugged” – now on display in the Martin Museum, and, more recently, with Robinson on the Steve Klein da Vinci homage. David J. Marks (Santa Rosa, CA) is recognized internationally as a master craftsman of fine furniture, turner, sculptor, and host of the television show WoodWorks. David started woodworking in 1972, making redwood burl tables. In the late 1980s, he shifted focus to wood turning and sculpture. His signature patina finish is a hybrid of multiple finishes, which combines painting, gilding (metal leafing'), 'chemical patinas, and lacquering techniques. The complex layers result in a finish that may look ancient, metallic, or even of a petrified stone quality. Michihiro Matsuda (Redwood City, CA) was raised in Tokyo, Japan. Pairing traditional woodworking skills with an innovative sense of design and construction, he builds around eight guitars each year at his shop in Redwood City, California. He is striving to make instruments that integrate fine materials with his dedicated sound study. Each of his guitars is unique, personal, and individual. Tom Ribbecke (Healdsburg, CA) has been building and designing all types of guitars for over 40 years. He has developed an international reputation for building the arch top guitar, innovating in all areas of lutherie, and most recently for inventing/developing the Halfling™ line of carved top instruments, which hybridize the arch top and steel-string style guitars. Tom has taught gui
