The fifth issue of Tools explores the concept of spinning as both a physical act and a creative force. From potter’s wheels and wood lathes to glassblowing and wind turbines, this edition traces how rotational movement shapes materials, objects and ideas.

Featuring interviews, factory reports and essays, To Spin looks at spinning in craft, design and industry, connecting traditional techniques with natural cycles and mechanical processes. The magazine draws links between motion, making and meaning, capturing the poetry of a world in constant rotation.

Tools is an annual publication dedicated to the techniques behind art, design, architecture and manufacturing. Each issue focuses on a specific method of making, celebrating the ingenuity of the hands that shape our material culture.
