Description
A fresh perspective on materials science emerges from the world of craftspeople who have built their careers around working with various materials. Author Anna Ploszajski explores how scientific progress has given us a good grasp on material properties, but often leaves gaps in our understanding.
Through her journey into the domain of makers and craftspeople, Anna delves into the world of materials to comprehend their true nature. She learns from masters of their respective crafts and shares her own experiences, including land racing and swimming the English Channel, to build a fuller picture of materials and their place in society.
Handmade offers a new understanding of the materials we encounter every day and an appreciation for the skills needed to fashion them into objects that are perfectly formed for their intended use.
