“Perhaps it is because in handcraft one works more immediately with material and handling, that one gets to know one’s material in something like an intuitive way. One may develop a capacity for experiencing other phenomena in this way: in immediacy, listening to something that is not audible but that nevertheless one hears, responding to the nature of being… The craftsman works from an immediate life sense.”
