This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

This is a lighter than normal week for woodworking with the lower school students since they are busy preparing for the spring camping trip. This gives us a chance to give some extra help to some of the high school students for finishing their projects. In the photo above left, Gab, our exchange student from Thailand is finishing a mask he started earlier in the year by using a rotary chisel in a roto-zip to carve it thinner and lighter. In the photo at left, Wyatt demonstrates sloyd wood carving during a previous Clear Spring School camping trip.
