Alumnus Andy Stewart, wooden boat builder

Andy Stewart is part of a wooden boat-building tradition stretching within his family, but he seems to connect with equal intimacy to another family, the human family of a boat-building past.

Listening to this almost hypnotic video interview, “Shaped on Six Sides,” one feels Andy’s organic connection to his materials, his tools, his craft, the sea, and the history of humanity as sea-going beings.

Warning: Watching this 7-minute documentary may cause flights of fancy and a lingering sense of longing.
