The Charm of Handmade Things
Manage episode 314719365 series 3291653
Clare and Hannah talk about the positive effects of handcrafts: sewing, gardening, cooking, and building your own home!
"Every tool invented by mankind is an extension of man's hand or mind." (CTW)
The books we mentioned in this podcast:
A Handmade Life: In Search of Simplicity by William S. Coperthwaite
Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall, illustrated by Barbara Cooney
The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking
These books are available in our Bookshop.org store in the section called "Simplify...Simplify."
We also mentioned a video of a hand-built getaway cabin. Here is Dave's video chronicling the build, "Simple off grid Cabin that anyone can build & afford." And here is his wife Brooke's coverage of the same build: "8-Day Tiny Cabin Build- off to a rocky start?"
And don't forget: Hannah and Clare are reading The Martian Chronicles in preparation for our next Book Club episode! Pick up your copy today!
Music: “Splanchnics Riff” composed and performed by Clare T. Walker.
