Craeft : an inquiry into the origins and true meaning of traditional crafts

Langlands, Alex (author.). Brockway, Harry, 1958- (illustrator.). Langlands, Alex Craeft, how traditional crafts are about more than just making. (Added Author).

Summary: The Old English word "craeft" signified knowledge, skill, wisdom, and resourcefulness. Today, in the wake of industrialization, people are again seeking products made with authenticity -- artisan breads, local honey, craft beers, furniture and other goods made by human hands. Archaeologist and medieval historian Alexander Landlands travels from his home in Wales along the Atlantic seaboard of Europe learning a wide range of traditional manual skills, and searching for the lost meaning of craeft.
