"I once heard someone say that people who turn to craftsmanship are often trying to heal something deep within themselves. That working with your hands becomes your therapy, your escape, your way of understanding who you are. I believe that’s true. At least, it is for me.

This person also said that craftsmanship has this dual nature: a personal healing that, in turn, touches those who receive the object you’ve created.

Because they can feel that energy, that emotion. Because, deep down, the world needs beauty and sensitivity."
