Craftswomanship

1991 Duke L.J. 365 (Duke Law Journal); quoted in:

When will I cherish my hair again, the way my grandmother cherished it, when fascinated by its beauty, with hands carrying centuries-old secrets of adornment and craftswomanship, she plaited it, twisted it, cornrowed it, finger-curled it, olive-oiled it, on the growing moon cut and shaped it, and wove it like fine strands of gold inlaid with semiprecious stones, coral and ivory, telling with my hair a lost-found story of the people she carried inside her?

Its swift intercutting suggests theatrical craftswomanship based on a working knowledge of the effects that could be achieved with shutters and scenery offered by the Theatre Royal.

…were to cease purchasing machinery, labor-saving devices, hired service, ready-made food and clothes, and go back to the old-fashioned craftswomanship.
