Description
The Nature and Art of Workmanship by David Pye is a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning of skill and its relationship to design and manufacture. In an age where machines often take the lead, Pye proposes a new theory of making based on the concepts of 'workmanship of risk' and 'workmanship of certainty'. This book reveals how good workmanship can add diversity to our visual environment.
With a newly revised edition, this book includes an illustrated foreword by John Kelsey, former editor of Fine Woodworking magazine, showcasing Pye's own turned and carved vessels of wood. These beautiful pieces embody the truth of Pye's ideas, making this book a valuable resource for anyone working with tools and materials.
David Pye's work offers a fresh perspective on the value of craftsmanship in a world of mass production. This book is a valuable read for anyone interested in design, architecture, and the art of making things.
