Why We Make Things and Why It Matters

Bag om Why We Make Things and Why It Matters

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 SoulcraftWoodworking, 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 Coloradös 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.
