Why We Make Things and Why it Matters by Peter Korn

This is not a how-to book in any sense, Korn wants to get at the why of craft in particular, and the satisfaction of creative work in general, to understand its essential nature.

It’s a beautifully written account of one man’s journey, making beautiful items over his lifetime-- Vanessa King * Psychologies *

Peter Korn is the founder and Executive Director of the Centre for Furniture Craftmanship, a woodworking and design school in Rockport, Maine. A furniture maker since 1974, his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States. In addition to writing Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman, which won the 2014 Maine Literary Award, Korn is the author of several how-to books. These include the bestselling Woodworking Basics: Mastering the Essentials of Craftsmanship and The Woodworker’s Guide to Hand Tools.
