Why I carve spoons while the world burns - Dave Cockcroft - BS104
We go beyond the usual chit-chat and really dig deep into how our disconnection from nature is contributing to exploitative practices and how crafting can bring us back in sync with our roots. All the while, we analyze the dominant stories we live by and their role in perpetuating these exploitative practices. Crafting for us, isn't just a hobby, but a powerful tool to reconnect with nature and rewrite the world's narrative. Hear us wax lyrical about the unique connection between our hands and brains, the history of makers, and the critical role dexterity and nerve connections play in crafting.
Throughout this episode, we touch upon the multifaceted benefits of spoon carving which extends beyond relaxation and community building, to encompass aspects such as humility and mental health. Dave shares an engaging tale of a stolen hawthorn log and the cycle of gifting that it sparked. The real kicker though, is our exploration of crafting as a radical act, with scintillating discussions on how the practice of craft can transform the practitioner, foster mindfulness, and establish a profound connection. So, tune in and get inspired to pick up the carving knife and join the crafting movement!

Joining the Dots: Nature, History & Craft [Pt2] - Sally Coulthard - BS106
Ever felt weary in a dull, grey office? Touched a piece of handcrafted wood and felt a strange sense of connection? Wondered why a bottle of earthworm medicine from the 1700s is significant? Our guest, Sally Coulthard, has! A best-selling author and columnist who explores the fascinating world of biophilic design, craft, and curious objects from history.
We start by looking into the intriguing territory of biophilic design. Sally throws light on how our built environment impacts us physiologically and why it's critical to blend nature with design for our overall well-being. We also discuss the surprising ways in which neuroscience and aesthetics can come together to create spaces that inspire and uplift. We delve into why play in nature is vital for children and how it can cultivate a generation of eco-conscious adults.
Transitioning from our homes to history, we journey through the fascinating world of craft. Sally uncovers the ancient art of wool and shearing, its impact on civilizations, and the potential of craft to build community, promote sustainability, and benefit mental health in our modern world. We also peel back the layers of our past to reveal enchanting stories of objects used for healing and soil health. From an earthworm medicine bottle to entombing cats in timber-framed houses, we unveil how human culture has eerily remained constant over millennia. So, why wait? Join us on this captivating exploration of the intimate relationship between us, our surroundings, and the natural world.
