Is talent inherited? What's it like to live in a household where objects are made by hand? Former President Jimmy Carter shares stories of the late Ed Moulthrop, a fellow Georgian known as the father of modern woodturning and the father of a family of craft artists who are following in his footsteps. The program also highlights the glass creations of the Marioni family in Seattle, the inventions of ceramicist Cliff Lee and metal artist Holly Lee in rural Pennsylvania, and the inspirations that Oklahoma bootmaker Lisa Sorell provides for her daughters.
