The Toolsy Scholarship

At The Toolsy, we believe in Craftship, which we define as having “great skill in creative endeavors”.
Some of us are woodworkers by trade, others writers. What we share in common is an intense desire to constantly hone and improve our craft, and to imbue everything we create with a distinct sense of style and stewardship.
We value creativity for its own sake, but if a creation betters the world around it, all the better.
Some people will argue that craftship is a dying art. Most people are knowledge workers, few people work with their hands, and style isn’t as important as scale.
Others argue that the internet has led to the commodification of skills and trades, and that a distinct sense of craftship is precisely what makes work stand out as unique in this age of digital noise.
We’d like to hear from YOU, and are prepared to offer a $500 scholarship to the student (in high school or college) who best answers this question:
Craftship is as essential as ever in 2018. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Essay required; must be between 1000 and 1500 words, in Microsoft Word
Deadline: September 19, 2018
