In three hours, some of the major influences on craft artists come to life: Memory, Landscape, Community. How does each play a part in how craft came to be? What about them drives the individual artists to do what they do? How do craft artists develop and adapt their techniques in today’s world?
Together, memory, landscape, and community lead to choices made, directions taken, objects realized. Through their own words, close to two dozen craft artists and representatives of craft colleges and collectives reveal what makes their work – and the lives they lead – unique. Join us on this voyage of discovery. A three-disc DVD set of the entire series is available for your home library.
