I believe part of the recent surge in the desire to do ‘real’ stuff with our ‘hands’ is driven by the digital thinness we’re wrapped in. Conferences like Do Lectures, new shops selling pickles in Brooklyn, woodsy digital refuges. It feels like there’s a renewed momentum around craft and physicality. All circumstantial, of course, and perhaps just a product of my generation getting sick of screens.
