There is a primary  (archetypal) pattern language that underlies form

This pattern language is experienced through the hands (kinesthetic intelligence )

Folk craft is a vessel that uses this language to build  a man made form out of natural materials

By making primary geometric designs with natural fibers we connect to the collective memory of all our ancestors

This process of connection is essential to the body mind wiring of 3Rs development

The Cultural Arts carry contempory reinterpretation of these primary templates of life

The well being of our own communities lives in activating these connections
