THE TIMES
As children, we made things: snowmen, paper boats, elaborate costumes. But as adults, it is hard to find the space for such creativity, and to remember its importance.
Exploring craft traditions across centuries and cultures, Clare Hunter encourages us to rediscover the power of creativity, from paper crafts to wonders made of light and snow. Weaving history and culture with rich storytelling and memorable characters, Making Matters urges us to see the world afresh.
'Now inspired, I'm off to get creative'
