Mindful Thoughts for Makers explores how the making process can be used as a tool for meditation, and not just a means to an end.

Part of the Mindful Thoughts series, this lovingly illustrated little book muses on all aspects of making, including:

Motivation
Experimenting
Making mistakes
Monotony
Perfectionism
The making community
The environment
. . . and many more

Making can be much more than a business or hobby, it can be a spiritually enriching activity, slowing us down and connecting our hands to our heart. Textile artist Ellie Beck reveals, through 25 focused reflections, why creating with our hands is uplifting, rewarding and soothing for the mind, body and soul. This book offers meaningful insights to all makers from artists and bakers to tailors and woodworkers – the list is endless.

From the Publisher


Honouring the Rituals The rituals of everyday tasks can be used to slow down your mind and get it ready to settle into work.	The Quiet in the Making While it is true that not every aspect of our creative lives needs to be imbued with hushed tones, it is beneficial for our minds and our work when we actively seek the internal quiet.	Learning Slowly & Patiently A master takes years to learn the skill of their profession, with countless hours invested into understanding the techniques and nuances of their craft.	Centring Ourselves Centring ourselves comes from our breathing and our mindful connection to the present moment, consciously noticing ourselves being in the here and now.

Mindful Thoughts for Makers

This beautiful and compact gift book explores why making is intrinsic to true wellbeing. In this modern world where too much pressure is put on us to create success in our careers, it's important to take the time to pause and create. Whether you're a master in knitting, or taking your first unsteady attempts at pottery making, Mindful Thoughts for Makers will guide you through the processes of carving out time for practice, finding your inner-maker, and seeing the beauty in your mistakes.

This is the perfect gift for the maker in your life.
