So touching to hear her speak about hearing and experiencing nature for the first time.

The marriage of Dave and Roberta Williamson is an extraordinary one. How fortunate they are.

This series is so heartwarming. To see that creating with ones own hands is still desirable is wonderful. Praying that never changes.

I absolutely love and appreciate this. Prompts you to be a creator or a learned craftsman as well.

Because of the closed captions on the screen in this film I couldn't see the name. The lady who makes the beautiful books deserves a mention here. Her yearly producer books are masterpieces. Each one is in its own right a work of art. They will end up being collected and curated in to some of the world's most renowned educational libraries and private collections. It gardens my heart to know that in its era of demise, the book still remains a sensory fundamental in our continued need of the necessity for enjoyment as we experience the world of learning through education delivered to us through enlightened educators. Every blessing to you and your team for future videos!!

I don't answer many phone calls. Mail is anathema. My studio has a lovely view, and a cooktop, and my bird loves me

Excellent. Keep new episodes coming. Please broaden your concept of Craft. Include pipe organ builder, and other musical instrument makers. Include machinists and engine specialists who make engine parts and specialty engines, Not all craft fits into basketry, pottery, glass, stone carving, timber framing, etc. So much more out there. Spend time with people in the white collar world and you will learn how little they are in tune with technologies which are still keeping their lives functioning. Many of the crafts this program explores are technologies of the past, which still resonate today.

Wow ! that guy doing the Hokusai impersonation is making some truly fuckin pretty art . I Love the great Japanese print makers because (if you look at it a certain way) they are the true foundations of Impressionism. I am going to look into acquiring a piece from this artist. Does anyone know him what are his prices like?

I would love to go to North Bennett Street School for book binding and repair. I started collecting tools for this work.

I see many different styles of book binding at second hand stores. Its challenging to see the books go away!

I love these videos but I find your title music to be shrill and annoying.

Well you’re not really concentrating on the wonderful gift these people have and are showing us

The shrill as you call it is the students playing on instruments that they or others have handcrafted. It brings delicate flavors to the open mind. I do hope you appreciate things differently in your future.

Well there is a thick very thick line between craft and art craft This is artistic craft like glass blowing The issue whit this areas on Craft is that in the lower end is nothing but flea markets garvich which in America is bad real bad and they have to compete whit India craft which is good and Africa which is real good So to me this lean 80% on art and craftman ship so for the home craft making people most of you are not on this levels you don't have the skills there is a real fine line to fall in the shiny and tacky confusing class with cute and elegance whit mundane

The idea that you are going to be teach in any arts by a successful thacher and that is going to rube or pass to you you are setting yourself for a rude awaking in you future success only come from creativity not from any other avenue talent only comes on how to see the world and you actitud about life and others

1miltond In actuality, you have a day job and then when you get your kids almost out of high school, get back into that thing you loved and do it on the side til and if you can live on retirement then marker your stuff. You can do your craft for the love of the craft but to completely live off it takes a craftsman AND a business savvy person, not often existing in the same skin, lol. Unless that is, you found a way to marry the two, which is maybe to work as a counselor and do art with your clients or work as a university professor and do some classes on art/craft area as well.
