HANDMADE: LEARNING THE ART OF CHAINSAW MINDFULNESS (PB)

What happens to society when we are divorced from the act of making? What happens to us as individuals when we limit the uses to which we put our hands? These questions occur to Siri Helle when she inherits a cabin of 25 square metres, without electricity, inlet water or a loo, and decides to build an outhouse herself. Without any previous experience, she learns not just how to lay a floor and construct walls - but about self-reliance and craft and the satisfaction found in making things by hand.
