Just in case you missed them, here are a few choice quotes from Motherhouse's most recent press clips:
From Laurel Tuohy's article, "In Cornwall, Workshops Highlight Vintage Skills," which ran in the Litchfield County Times 3/3/2006: "'So many things we buy are mass produced and are really oppressive to the people who work producing them, so everything we can buy from a local craftsperson takes a little energy away from these impersonal beings and puts a little more energy into a better world," [Debra Tyler] said of the ideas behind the series and Motherhouse.'"
From Peggy O'Brien's article, "Taking the Time to Make Your Own Bread at Home: Learning Some Old-Time Skills," from The Lakeville Journal 2/16/2006: "In the time that [making bread from scratch] took, we got to know each other a bit. And we experienced each of our senses as we smelled the sesame oil and fresh butter; saw the cool dust of flour float through the sunlight as we sprinkled it during the kneading process; and felt and smelled the fragrant, heated air around the oven door."
If I were writing a piece on last weekend's wool gathering, the headline would be, "Middle-aged Woman Seen Knitting Slightly Irregular Scarf of Gorgeous Undyed Wool in Presence of Goat."
