Synopsis: Preface: Handicraft was written to portray the elements of essential skills through graphically illustrated and explicit descriptions. Procedures are shown sequentially in a form readily understood and followed, so that the basic craft technique may become the personalized skill of the individual craftsman. Subject matter in this form makes leisure time pursuits a constructive activity and stimulates creativeness, the human quality which finds satisfaction only in "doing."
We have not restricted the projects in this book by "simplified procedure" to the extent that they should be classified as belonging to an elementary treatise on craftwork. Neither was it our intention, through emphasis given to detail, to make the contents exhaustive, complex nor burdensome. Rather, we sought to discover precision in methods, progression in skill sequences in the several crafts explored and embody the findings of our research in this Manual.
It is our hope that the instructor, occupational therapist and individual craftsman will here find the array of projects presented sufficiently wide in of interest material, skill content and achievement possibilities to permit range planning a Handicraft program to fit several age levels. Continuity of interest in handwork from one age level to the next should be cultivated. This necessitates using projects requiring increased facilities, additional knowledge of materials and techniques. In the upper age levels it is essential that some- thing of value be produced, which in the making provides opportunity to satisfy the desire for mastery and brings the reward of achievement.
In assembling the subject matter presented in Handicraft, I am greatly indebted to my wife Kathleen who has collaborated from the beginning in our attempt to make each edition more satisfactory than the last.
