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.

We had a very busy day in my child's rocking chair class. We suspended the furniture design portion of the class to allow more time at the various steps involved. We worked to finish some of the tenons and interior shaping of the seat parts. We have a great deal to do tomorrow. The carvings for the chair backs have been going well. Some of the students are doing their first carvings, but you wouldn't guess that from their ambitious efforts. John is carving his grand daughter's name in the back as shown above and at left.
