A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works
with his hands
and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his
brain and his heart is an artist. -Louis Nizer, lawyer (1902-1994)

". . . what constitutes the dignity of a craft is that it
creates a fellowship,
that it binds men together & fashions for them a common language.
For there is but one veritable problem --
the problem of human relations."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand & Stars

Why does man create?
Is it mans purpose on earth
to express himself, to bring
form to thought & to discover
meaning in experience?
Or is it just something to do
when he's bored?
--Calvin, Calvin & Hobbes
by Bill Watterson, 1995

"If people are to work with paint, clay or fiber, they
must learn how to use tools, how to make what they have conceived, how to temper
creativity by patience. It is this last capacity which is perhaps the most
difficult and most important to cultivate. Craftsmanship requires the ability to
keep the pulse of creativity beating slowly over long periods of time."
Sir Misha Black
Crafts Magazine 1976

"Abide in
Me, and I in you.
As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself,
unless it
abides in the vine,
neither can
you, unless you abide in Me."
John 15:4
