Brigitte Martin, crafthaus Editor, was a guest on Radio Times together with Elisabeth Agro, Curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Philadelphia Yarn Bomber Jessie Hemmons. The theme of the show was to talk about Craft as an integral part of the world of art.
Radio Times is a live, two-hour, daily, news and information call-in show produced from WHYY, Philadelphia's NPR affiliate and carried nationally by the NPR/Sirius satellite channel 122. NPR Now, weekdays from 9-11p.
Let's talk about CRAFT!
What does it mean to make a book?
To make books is to contend with beauty. To me, even the cheapest photocopied zine is endearing, but there's always going to be a struggle: if the book is beautiful, does that mean it is not a serious work of art? If the book is well crafted, does that mean I am a craftsperson? The book arts straddle the art-craft divide, and book artists fall where they may. I sometimes think that if books made by artists were consistently larger, uglier, and fell apart at the touch of a white cotton glove we'd get more respect. But I can't resist trying to make beautiful books, and so I go on contributing to the book artist's image problem.

I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
