Krátky popis
Why do we make things? Why do we choose the emotionally and
physically demanding work of bringing new objects into the world
with creativity and skill? Why does it matter that we make things
well? What is the nature of work? And what is the nature of a good
life?Part memoir, part polemic, part philosophical reflection, this
is a book about the process of creation and what it means to be a
craftsman in a mass-produced world. For woodworker Peter Korn, the
challenging work of bringing something new and meaningful into the
world through one’s own efforts is exactly what generates
authenticity, meaning, and fulfilment, for which many of us yearn.
This is not a ‘how-to’ book in any sense, Korn wants to get at the
‘why’ of craft in particular, and the satisfaction of creative work
in general, to understand its essential nature. How does the making
of objects shape our identities? How do the products of creative
work inform society? In short, what does the process of making
things reveal to us about ourselves? Korn draws on four decades of
hands-on experience to answer these questions eloquently in this
heartfelt, personal and revealing book.
