<p> Thanks for your responses.</p>
<p>Your right in every respect.</p>
<p>AT the time of the Conference, I was completely in "neutral" just taking it in and keeping extensive notes. Now as I review the presenters lectures, I am a little disappointed on occasion that the symposium lost an opportunity to address what Craft Forward could mean in a more substantive manner.</p>
<p>There were good presentations, of course, and some great presentations....stay tuned for more to come.</p>

<p>Hi Harriete,</p>
<p> I very much appreciate your report on the symposium, and your candid responses.</p>
<p> I had considered attending this symposium, but practical issues would have made it a stressful endeavor-and after reading the subjects and some research on the presenters I decided it would likely annoy me and thus not be worth the stress. Many of the questions and disappointments you express on the superficial relevancy of some presentations (not on the quality of the presenters work), and the emphasis on 'forward' -as some idea of progress or vanguard -being attributed to currently trendy ART Cred activities over issues more distinctly related to craft practices were what I anticipated experiencing.</p>
<p>None-the-less, - it did stimulate your responses which are some good topics for consideration.</p>
<p>It seems- What is "<strong>Craft</strong> Forward" is still the question.</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughtful reportage.</p>
