Phil Abel in conversation with Roger Kneebone

Phil Abel studied biology at university. After reading Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance he underwent a radical change in direction, becoming one of the country's leading letterpress printers and establishing Hand & Eye Letterpress. More recently he has been Master of the Art Workers Guild. In this conversation we discuss similarities and differences between our experiences and explore issues of craftsmanship and embodied knowing.
