As we find our lives increasingly defined by haste and impermanence, so we should make quiet enquiry into the essence of making, dwelling and living with intention. This offers up a still point – a place to reflect on the value of the hand-touched, the patiently crafted and the deeply considered. At its heart lies a reverence for tradition, not as nostalgia, but as a reminder of the wisdom embedded in slow, deliberate work. These very acts, drawing on the ways of old, are more than a means to an end. They create a conversation with time, an expression of being fully present.
