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.

I am at the Woodworkers Showcase and am over half way through jurying the show. I am grateful to have very competent co-jurors. Peter Korn is director of The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine, Chris Schwarz is an editor for Popular Woodworking, and Wayne Barton is the king of woodcarving. The exhibit of work is amazing, not just for the quality of it, but for the volume of investment in learning. I have also been meeting the organizers of the show and learning about its history. I'll have more to post tomorrow.
