Product Description

Review
"For anyone whose hands itch to make something-pot, piece of weaving, wooden clog, painting or book-with seriousness, so that it is undivorced from the maker's inner life." -Frederick Franck, author of The Zen of Seeing
"A stunning cascade of brilliant insight, enormous intelligence, and deep, genuine spirituality.... From the first page on I was completely engrossed." -Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of Magical Child
"A wise and wonderful book, a meditation to read and to share" -Publishers Weekly
"A remarkably drawn exploration into the mind and spirit of the artist-craftsman.... The Work of Craft is a wonder in many ways, not the least of which is that it hasn't been read by everyone who calls himself artist, craftsman, art teacher." -Peter London, author of No More Secondhand Art


Product Description
With insights grounded in her own experience with woodworking, weaving, and, above all, pottery, Carla Needleman shows that the basic material each craftsperson works with is his or her self.
