traditional craftsmanship

“Any efforts to safeguard traditional craftsmanship must focus not on preserving craft objects – no matter how beautiful, precious, rare or important they might be – but on creating conditions that will encourage artisans to continue to produce crafts of all kinds, and to transmit their skills and knowledge to others.”

    
  
  
    

“Resistance to change is the essence of the traditional crafts, and the source of their strength.”  Christopher Alexander
