Description
Why We Make Things and Why it Matters: The Education of a Craftsman
This book is a personal and philosophical reflection on the nature of work and the value of creating things. Woodworker Peter Korn draws on four decades of experience to explore the process of making objects and its impact on our identities and society.
Part memoir, part polemic, and part philosophical inquiry, this book offers a unique perspective on the importance of craftsmanship in a mass-produced world.
