Against the backdrop of an alienating, technologizing and
ever-accelerating world of material production, this book tells an
intimate story: one about a community of woodworkers training at an
historic institution in London's East End during the present
'renaissance of craftsmanship'. The animated and scholarly accounts
of learning, achievement and challenges reveal the deep human
desire to create with our hands, the persistent longing to find
meaningful work, and the struggle to realise dreams. In its
penetrating explorations of the nature of embodied skill, the book
champions greater appreciation for the dexterity, ingenuity and
intelligence that lie at the heart of craftwork.
