Craft as a Way of Life
Craft is a dialogue between the beautiful and the useful, the known and the unknown, ending in a leap of faith. A maker—no matter what the material—is committed to the process of unfolding, in constant conversation with a discipline that engages the mind, the emotions, and the senses. Some say the practice of craft is like putting the soul on a stretcher—if we are fortunate, that vessel doesn’t break. And our craft becomes the forge in which we learn the art of living.
