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.

He agreed with some other critics that the model series were too restrictive of creativity and was among those who opened the teaching of Sloyd to more experimental design.
