Why Old Ways?

 

The Handmade Life embraces “old ways” as the sharing of hands-on habits that were once a part of our ancestors’ daily lives.

We believe these practices survived over time for a reason and that they deserve remembering and are worthy of sharing. They offer us creative, multi-sensory outlets that our body and brain crave, and the maker process affords us a space for focus and clarity of mind (think flow) where solutions to problems can present themselves. When my hands are busy and my brain is quiet, there’s some real magic that can happen in the space between, often in ways I don’t expect. Ideas and memories surface, and things that once seemed impossible now have clear solutions. In essence, I believe the maker process can be thought of as a form of meditation; a recipe for getting unstuck. Also, it’s often just plain fun, and a lovely way to spend time in community making useful things.

For all these reasons and more, The HML offers seasonal workshops for learning new projects and old skills alongside other makers.

And while we honor the ways of old, we also have gratitude for new ways too, that allow us to connect virtually from time to time! Sign up in the link above to stay in touch as workshops are offered.
