it seems that because of a society telling us that the manufactured thing is good and better than a handmade thing

most people don’t even see the handmade thing when it is right in front of them anymore

that people want the manufactured thing over the handmade

we are so far removed from making things with our hands that we can’t even understand what it takes to actually make something ourselves

and see value in that act and the value in the thing we end up making
