Which role does craftsmanship play in your personal life?
Especially because I’m manually completely ungifted, I’m all the more fascinated by craftsmanship. I’m particularly enthusiastic about century old craft skills passed on to today’s world.

Which crafts sector fascinates you the most?
Everything dealing with wood or leather.

Do you believe in a future of craftsmanship? What could it look like? 
In my opinion, craftsmanship will have a brilliant future. I’m convinced that future consumers will be attracted by sustainable products and services as well as by objects passionately made by hand.

Tradition or innovation – what do you consider more important?
That is nothing one should have to make up one’s mind. Tradition is not worshipping the ashes but passing on fire.  

How important are networks and platforms like MEISTERSTRASSE today?
They have a very high relevance, because small companies are in a need of a diligent and affectionate attentiveness to being noticed in times of perpetual overkill of social media.
