When we were young, we all had our favorite activities to do and games to play, but this one is one of the most favorite ones. I remember when I was young when I used to go for a Carousel ride. It was really interesting and I couldn’t wait for the next time when I would be going to do the same thing over and over again.
In the video below, we are bringing in the story of very talented and experienced carousel craftsmen. There’s something about the pure joy of a carousel ride that leaves an impression on you. But these handcrafted pieces of kinetic art are becoming rarer.
Dan Jones and Art Ritchie have been building wooden carousels by hand for 30 years through their company, Carousel Works. Based in Ohio, their works of public art can be enjoyed throughout the world. Here’s how they make it all happen.
In the video below, the locations mentioned are US locations, however, they do have carousels all over the world. Please watch the video below and let us know what you think about it. If you think that it is worth sharing with your friends, make sure to do so.
