A Time For Making

Nine artisans on secluded Gabriola Island reveal the differences between mass manufactured and authentic locally handmade through intimate portraits of their work and lifestyle. A Time For Making takes us into the homes, the workshops, and the studios where the nine artisans dedicate themselves to their art. Regardless of their craft, the silversmiths, glassblowers, musical instrument maker, potter, weaver, baker, and woodworker portrayed in the film show us that making something with your hands is a deeply sensuous skill that is inspired by tradition and fueled by dedication.
