The Value of Handwork

On this rainy Wednesday morning, the act of contemplation (in this case, about fiber arts) seems fitting. In this short video, Renate Hiller articulates what I have always felt, but have never been able to explain in such a profound and eloquent way. Hiller expounds upon handwork - knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving, handsewing - and discusses why it is affirming, why it has value and how it gives meaning, purpose and satisfaction to our lives. Enjoy...
