Tech and the Unquantifiable Essence of the Handmade

In this episode, Kelly Manjula Koza discusses the unquantifiable value of the handmade, the priceless process of making, and the ineffable understanding that a handwoven textile is more than just a thing. These are golden elements the Sardinian handweavers and artists teach us. This understanding is a leitmotif you’ll find runs throughout Sardinian Arts.
