India is still creative in its village, with the young exposed to the art of making and transforming material and spaces by the act of creation on the daily basis. The living craft in the rural hinterland have been contributing enormously. Unfortunately our formal education systems lack the richness of craft experience with the emphasis on textual and numerical education systems. It is here that craft hold real promise for the rediscovery of the therapeutic qualities of craftsmanship that can be appreciated and by the entire population. Craftsmanship brings with it an understanding of quality and refinement, and the sensitivity that is gained through this work culture will help introduce our youth to a whole philosophy of value that create embody. We will need to transcend the caste barriers that have brought artificial division between thinking, writing and doing. Therefore crafts in education will introduce a new dimension. We hope that this book and its companion volumes will help sensitize and shape the character of our youth, through an immersion in the act of craftsmanship.
