A must-read for the craftsperson, artisan and artist. "In his
beautiful book, Peter Korn invites us to understand craftsmanship
as an activity that connects us to others, and affirms what is best
in ourselves."-Matthew Crawford, author of Shop Class as Soulcraft
Woodworking, handicrafts -the rewards of creative practice,
bringing something new and meaningful into the world through one's
own vision, make us fully alive. Peter Korn explains his search for
meaning as an Ivy-educated child of the middle class who finds
employment as a novice carpenter on Nantucket, transitions to
self-employment as a designer/maker of fine furniture, takes a turn
at teaching at Colorado's Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and finally
founds a school in Maine: the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship,
an internationally respected, non-profit institution. How does the
making of objects shape our identities? How does creative work
enrich our communities and society? What does the process of making
things reveal to us about ourselves? Korn poignantly probes for
answers in this book that is for the artist, artisan, crafter,
do-it-yourselfer inside us all.
