520 8 _aRecent years have seen a decline in craft and creative education in schools and a shift from practical to theoretical learning models in higher education. Young people are leaving school with no idea that craft-based careers are even possible, and graduates of craft-based degree courses are entering the workplace with so few hand skills that their employers must train them from scratch. Where did the idea come from that white-collar work should be rewarded more with money and status than that of a blue-collar worker? 'Intelligent Hands' looks at this phenomenon, the historical precedents that led us here and why hand skills are crucial in education and for lifelong learning.
