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.

About Me
- Doug Stowe
- I have been a self-employed woodworker in Eureka Springs, Arkansas since 1976. I live with my wife Jean on a wooded hillside overlooking our beautiful historic community. In addition to work in my wood shop,I'm retired from teaching at the Clear Spring School in a program called "The Wisdom of the Hands." That experience is summarized in my book, "The Guide to Woodworking with Kids". My book "Wisdom of our Hands: Crafting, A Life" is my attempt to explain the importance of hands on learning. I also write for Fine Woodworking, Popular Woodworking and other woodworking magazines. My new book, Designing Boxes will be released on April 16, 2024. My resume can be downloaded at www.dougstowe.com/resume.doc
