Memoirs Of Métiers: Soul of Things - Bone and belief, carved by hand

Fazakas Sándor is not your average artisan. One of the last bone carvers in Hungary, he crafts combs, horns, and antler sculptures with astonishing detail. But behind his traditional tools lies a razor-sharp mind.

As a teacher and social commentator, Sándor injects folk art with philosophical debate—about war, faith, and the future of craftsmanship itself. This episode delves into his workshop as both a sanctuary of heritage and a forum for modern thought, where the soul of things is often deeper than it appears.
