Description
Why do we make things by hand? Why do we make them beautiful? Led by these questions, the author traveled across continents, met with quilters, weavers, painters, cobblers, metalsmiths, printmakers, woodworkers, seamstresses, gardeners, potters, spinners and dyers, block printers....well, you get the picture...she met with artists of myriad crafts and specialties. From them she gleaned that we are creative and productive for as many reasons as there are crafts: to connect with others, to express ideas and creativity, to feel competent, to continue a tradition, to create something long-lasting, to feed the soul. This book, with extensive photographs, shows artists and their work, along with their explanation of why and how their craft is meaningful to them, and to those around them.
