An important book, brimming with insight. Nicholas Evans, author of
The Horse Whisperer Material is generous, wise, fascinating
and fundamentally humane. Dan Richards, author of Outpost Throwing
a pot. Building a bench. Sewing clothes. Creating a linocut
illustration. Carving a spoon. What does it mean to make things
with your hands in a digital age full of mass market, disposable
items? Through beautifully-crafted writing filled with
memorable makers, landscapes, stories and scenery, Material is a
rich celebration of what it means to imagine and create. Nick Kary
champions the voices of artisans across the English landscape, from
potters to woodworkers, and reminds us of the rich vein of
knowledge and skills that defines our common human heritage. Much
in the vein of bestselling authors Lars Mytting, Robert Macfarlane
and Barn the Spoon, craftsman Nick Kary explores what it means to
be a maker, where the fluid creative act becomes manufacturing, and
what it means to create in a world where consumers are disconnected
from the creative and material process. He tells the stories of
craftspeople, asking them why they make, and the challenge of
making a living out of a practice that was once a necessity; and
underlying his visits to meet fellow makers are the author’s own
reflections about what and who influenced him to value and make
using materials from the earth for the past forty years. Perfect
for fans ranging from Countryfile to Norwegian Wood, Material is a
rich, inspiring read for woodworkers, potters, craftspeople,
bibliophiles and anyone who enjoys working with their hands.Â
