| Learn the actions, movements, and best practices to help your body (your main craft tool) perform its best. An important resource for all makers and artists, this helpful guide supports artists and crafters with ways to maintain their most valuable tool: their body. This one-of-kind guide teaches you how to alleviate pain and strain while working in the studio through active and passive stretching, strengthening, and massage techniques. Author Missy Graff Ballone is the founder of Wellness for Makers®, a company dedicated to empowering artists through education, mindful living, and movement. This is the only wellness book geared specifically to craftspeople. Whether you're making jewelry, ceramics, weavings, needlework, murals, or sculptures, the information, tips, and 40+ exercises with detailed photosâ all steps are clearly demonstrated by the author herselfâ will create more-healthful movement patterns that build strength and longevity, reduce the risk of injury, relieve pain and strain, and improve posture and overall well-being. Treat yourself to this book as an exercise in self-care, or gift it to any fellow crafter you know who could also benefit from it. |
