**Discover how materials, tools, and craftsmanship give ornament its character.**

In *Ornament and Its Application*, Lewis F. Day explores the relationship between decorative design and the methods used to bring it to life. Through historical examples and illustrated discussions, he shows how successful ornament responds to the surface, structure, and purpose of the object it adorns.

Across eighteen chapters, Day examines carving, weaving, embroidery, metalwork, pottery, glass, and other decorative crafts. His observations address questions that remain valuable to designers today: How does a tool influence a line? When does decoration enrich an object—and when does it become excessive? How can a motif be adapted to a different material without losing its character?

**Topics include:**

* The influence of materials and tools on decorative form
* Adapting ornament to different processes and surfaces
* Repetition, rhythm, proportion, and restraint
* The relationship between pattern, colour, and outline
* Combining techniques within a coherent design

**About this annotated edition**

Edited by **Alim Ekiz**, this edition includes a **fourteen-page editorial reading guide**, presented separately from Day’s historical text. It retains the original English style and includes black-and-white illustrations, with redrawn artwork based on the original plates.

For art and design students, craftspeople, illustrators, and readers interested in decorative arts, this book offers a thoughtful approach to understanding ornament through the practical realities of making.
