So what has ancient techniques offered me? Meh, I could never sum it up in a few sentences - but if we throw in a general outline about how I found my own very way of being and living (not experiencing work as work but as a passion), we're pretty much at the heart of the matter. And even though my own world of crafts is pretty limited compared to what ancient techniques has to offer, the point is not to master it all, but to find your own little path to dream & follow 💖
