Resume. In Marshall McLuhan’s “global village”, the “electronic age cannot sustain the very low gear of a center-margin structure such as we associate with the past two thousand years of the Western world”. American craft and design still fiercely resist this notion. Nowhere a survival of folk arts in traditional craft and design forms is evident as it is in America today. A number of surveys found that a growing number of active customers have a wider range of motivations for buying craft, admiring the human skill involved, wanting to keep handcrafts alive, supporting craftsmen, and finding that unique objects reflect their own identities. The idea of reproducing a dry sink today no longer seems ridiculous because it launches an interesting journey into the mind-set of the early woodworker. The form will cause you to question a lot of the woodworking dogma. There is something inexplicably appealing about the form, especially to Americans. Not surprisingly, we can now hear strong voices calling for the adoption of craftsmanship as a model for working life. It simply comes from the concern about the devaluation of human value in the context of the globalization we all are experiencing today.
