Socrates said that a core aspect of being human is our mission to "take care of things," and this idea finds beautiful expression in traditional crafts like woodworking, weaving, and pottery.

But it's not about being stuck in the past—you can adapt traditional crafts to fit your modern lifestyle, using whatever tools and resources make it fulfilling for you. | | | | | EPOCH BUY | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | | | | Did you know The Epoch Times prints the best U.S. broadsheet newspaper?
