Synopsis

Writer, curator, and academic, Glenn Adamson is one of the most important voices in the worlds of craft and making. Fewer Better Things is his pean to the importance of material intelligence and how an understanding of how things are made has the potential to re-shape the world… perhaps persuading consumers to think a little more carefully before they throw things into landfill. 

It is thoughtful, accessible, and personal.
