The Micro
In my workshop, I create instruments: violins, violas, and cellos. For the past twenty years, I have used a mini plane to make the arched curving of the top and bottom of my instruments. The plane is made of brass. A maker’s tools are extremely important because the maker is accustomed to working with their personalized collection. Furthermore, the success of the work depends on the maker’s tools.
I hadn’t consciously noticed the presence of this jewelry box until taking photos for this interview, and in a sense, it always seemed to belong there, despite the fact that it’s not very practical or work related. Its connection to women in my family and its blueness bring about a feeling of warmth. They are bittersweet reminders of me being close––to my mother, sister, and cousins––from a distance.
Another beautiful article about so much more than a beautiful room. Thank you!
Thank you Kati!
Thank you Yael for your evocative article. You manage to give so much detail and feeling with an economy of words.
Beautiful!
You are the most talented, experienced artist I’ve ever known in real life. I’m sure our grandfather is looking down on you so proudly.
I love you!
Dear Yael,
I had the privileged of getting to know your sister while she was in Australia, and I heard about you through her. So, it so nice to read this little picture of your world. Thanks so much for bringing some beauty into the world-the world desperately needs it! Brava, Yael!
Grazie,
Ken
Thanky you all!
Come and visit me in veautiful Turin!
