| Craftsmanship |
|
There are three characteristics inherent in Craftsmanship: 1. The craftsman is able to marry beauty and utility. He is able to combine good taste and usefulness. 2. The true craftsman done not depend on complex machinery and equipment to complete his work. 3. The true craftsman is not only able to work in an ancient tradition, but he is able to build on the foundation of history. The past provides a solid basis for his work. The Craftsman's chief quality is his ability to make these things; to make some thing useful and durable without any unnecessary adornments and decorations. In the wake of this utilitarian purpose, there follows pride; the true craftsman's pride in creating something useful, but creating it with beauty and good taste, so that people could say on seeing his product, 'This was indeed Craftsmanship'. |
