With our Wednesday Zoom approaching (link at end), my last OTW post about our threads has stayed with me all week. Weaving as a craft is tactile, requiring an understanding of and relationship with the threads being brought together. An obsession with efficiency and productivity changes that- threads become anonymous raw materials to be processed.
Yet, the threads that make up the stories of our individual lives are the stuff of society and vibrant, socially meaningful businesses. Efficiency and productivity in pursuit of profit are finite stories. There are other stories to be told.
