the artisan...
"Making anything by hand is a form of craft, one which activates all of our senses. For me it's something visceral, I can't fully describe why I am so drawn to it, but the pull is undeniable. My guess is that since we're all made up of the same "goo", bringing a physical object to life is more-or-less an extension of ourselves, allowing us to reach further and feel more!"
