"As our materials are imbued with new life, we ourselves are transformed. The work of our hands becomes a contemplative practice; we develop an artistic heart-centered sensibility. This very satisfying way of working brings awareness to the contrasting consumer trend in our culture and appreciation to the importance of handwork." ~Kelly Minehart
