3. WHY WE MAKE THINGS AND WHY IT MATTERS written by Petter Korn
This is an evocative account of Petter Korn's life as he tries to forge a 
meaningful career within the field of carpentry, whilst all the while 
questioning what is means to be a craftsperson.

WHAT WE THOUGHT…
'Peter Korn has a real passion and curiosity for his craft which is 
really enjoyable to read. This intense search for meaning has helped me 
to feel reinvigorated and contented within my own career as a craftsperson. 
People who make things for a living often have self doubt over why 
they are doing it and if it really matters. And so I'd like to
thank Peter for giving me clarity on the importance of my art.'
