Description
The Wisdom of Our Hands: Crafting, a Life
This guide explores the wisdom to be found in working with our hands in the real world. In a world dominated by abstraction, Doug Stowe argues that human beings have a natural need to express themselves creatively through tangible work.
Through his 45 years as a woodworker and 25 years as a teacher of handcrafts, Stowe demonstrates how craft work can promote physical and mental health, foster a sense of mastery, and create community. A life of craftsmanship offers the opportunity to define one's own values.
