I love people who craft and I love learning about other people's crafts because every single one is full of little things that non-practitioners wouldn't notice but others in the craft RAVE about.

Like, I'm a knitter, and before I started I couldn't tell a knit fabric from a crocheted one, and I mostly would appreciate pretty color choices and overall patterns. But now I drool over perfectly uniform stockinette or a good stretchy bind off, and don't even start me on neat floats on the back of fair isle!

Quilters will talk about the binding and stitch choice on a finished quilt, ceramics artists will gush over how a glaze turned out, embroiderers will sigh at perfectly smooth satin stitch, and a woodworker can spot a good join from a mile away.

There is so much more beauty and artistry in the world than we can see on our own.

Inside the shop L'Art del Vitrall in Sabadell (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit, Catalonia), where the artisan stained glass maker Joan Serra i Renom (born 1952) works.

In the photos above, Joan is restoring some stained glass from the Euterpe theatre-cinema, built in Sabadell in 1893 and demolished in 2006. Joan works with stained glass in historical buildings that are still standing, but has also saved and restored stained glass from demolished buildings from the 1800s and 1900s.
