Wisdom of the Hands

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

My Photo
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. Our daughter Lucy, after graduating from Columbia University in 2011 is now a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin. In addition to work in my wood shop, I teach children at the Clear Spring School in a program called "The Wisdom of the Hands." My seventh book "Building Small Cabinets" was just published by Taunton Press. I also write for Fine Woodworking and American Woodworker magazines.
