At this Studio, we know that earning an income from the work of your hands has meaning beyond the obvious.  It is a yes to authentic and soul satisfying work, a yes to building a life that includes family, culture and community.  There is value in taking time to create something handmade, something that carries within it an imprint of the soul of the creator.  Despite the messages we are bombarded with every day, not everything in this world has to be faster, larger or more.  The individual handmade object, like the individual life, has intrinsic value, a value we resolve to celebrate.
