PieceWork, March/April 1993 Digital Edition

PieceWork March/April 1993
Digital Issue

Handwork reflects people’s history, daily lives, and cultures. In this issue’s stories, hand work means physical survival, personal hope, and cultural identity. It represents a change in women’s education and, as depicted in richly colored fourteenth-century paintings, a change in religious views. The importance of handwork lies as much in the process as in the finished item. Indulge in traditional techniques!
