that li my impression after visiting local bazaars hobby shows and more lecently a anlo of arli and crafts it is also evident in thetrcmen- dousrcspqnsciathladi3lrjclavjln nifiht school classes were organiz ed by the department of agricult ure for the purpose of tonchlng art leathercraft sewing woodwork and other forms of handicraft obvious ly people like to work with their hands nnd their brains perhaps i should put it the other way round because a person must first use his brains before he can work with hla hands small town bazaars are moro or less conservative in their setup the work that

fine work certainly wouldnt have much spare time left on their hands for idle amusement think of the number of work hours involved in such an undertaking it must be colossal at hobby shows we find a greater variety of handicraft wore there work that has been adopted primarily as a hobby craftsmen both men nnd women taking a de light in making something that is new nnd different testing their own
