A book for makers, for seekers of all kinds, an exhilarating look
into the heart and soul of artisans--and how their collective
wisdom can inspire us all. "Despite our technological advances,
we're busier than ever, our lives more frazzled. That's why the
handmade object, created with care and detail, embodying a history
and a tradition, is enormously powerful. It can cut through so much
and speak in ways that we don't often hear, or that we've
forgotten." --Eric Gorges, from A Craftsman's Legacy In this joyful
celebration of skilled craftsmen, Eric Gorges, a
corporate-refugee-turned-metal-shaper, taps into a growing hunger
to get back to what's real. Through visits with fellow
artisans--calligraphers, potters, stone carvers, glassblowers,
engravers, woodworkers, and more--many of whom he's profiled for
his popular television program, Gorges identifies values that are
useful for all of us: taking time to slow down and enjoy the
process, embracing failure, knowing when to stop and when to push
through, and accepting that perfection is an illusion. Most of all,
A Craftsman's Legacy shows how all of us can embrace a more
creative and authentic life and learn to focus on doing what we
love.
