PhotoJournal: North Bennet Street School

North End, Boston

Fine craftsmanship seems to have lost some of its value in our high-speed, throwaway society. Honoring that which truly lasts -- and this would include corporations that look beyond the next quarter and politicians who see beyond the next election -- must remain an integral part of our national character.

Nowhere is the joy of craftsmanship on better display than at the fabled North Bennet Street School in Boston, which offers programs in Cabinet and Furniture Making, Preservation Carpentry, Violin Making and Repair, Piano Technology, Bookbinding, Jewelry Making and Repair, and more.
