The island has\u003cbr\u003ebeen at the center of Mediterranean life since the arrival of the Phoenicians\u003cbr\u003ealmost 3000 years ago. Over the centuries, other great civilizations left their\u003cbr\u003emark on this strategic trading post, and in the 20th century hippies and bohemians\u003cbr\u003efamously found in Ibiza a refuge from conformity. To the present day, the\u003cbr\u003eisland continues to attract artists and craftspeople from around the world. Together\u003cbr\u003ewith native Ibizans who embrace the traditions of their forebears, these\u003cbr\u003eforeign-born inhabitants form a vibrant creative community that plays a vital\u003cbr\u003erole in maintaining the unique character of the 'White Island'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book showcases the wealth of creative talent in Ibiza today. It shines\u003cbr\u003ea bright Balearic light on some of the island's most inspirational artists and makers, \u003cbr\u003eon their products and services, and on their studios and homes. This is a place of\u003cbr\u003egreat natural beauty, but - as Liam Aldous discusses in his introduction - there\u003cbr\u003eare inherent limitations to making things work. Geographic isolation, a lack of\u003cbr\u003eindustry, and a scarcity of materials are perennial difficulties. However, rather\u003cbr\u003ethan impeding creativity, such challenges fuel ingenuity. As Aldous says, 'In\u003cbr\u003eIbiza, where life's creative canvas often feels unfettered and fresh, creating\u003cbr\u003eart, architecture or artisanal goods can also be an opportunity.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe main part of the book is arranged into chapters grouping similar\u003cbr\u003etypes of products or areas of expertise. More than 35 enterprises are featured, \u003cbr\u003eranging from Blakstad Design, founded in 1967 and now Ibiza's most prestigious architectural\u003cbr\u003epractice; Majoral, whose jewelry is sold in boutiques across Europe and the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States; to Ses Cabretes, a goat farm and cheese producer; and Ladio Ceramics, \u003cbr\u003einspired by the island's pottery tradition and the nature that surrounds Laura\u003cbr\u003ede Grinyo's secluded studio.
