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.

Today I am driving with my wife and daughter to New York City, delivering Lucy to her sophomore year at Columbia University. The photo below is a preview of next week at Clear Spring. We will be making pencil sharpeners, as an introduction to a variety of woodworking and measuring tools. This time we will also introduce the idea of working in partnership with other students. While I'm on the road, I am attempting to organize my paper for Finland. I've brought a collection of photos of Clear Spring Students making tools of all kinds which will be included as examples.
