Welcome to crafthaus, the network for craft artists, and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us !

Please feel free to look around, meet friends, and start adding your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussion forums that are posted. Of course, if there is something else you'd much rather talk about, please add that to the site so that the rest of us can chime in. Crafthaus is a participatory sport ! The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.

Please note that crafthaus is both a fully edited and a member-financed website, meaning that a small annual fee ($20/yr or $35/2yrs) is involved in being a member here. You will find all the necessary information on how to go about this in the FAQs section of the site. Your membership fee is due on or before July 15, 2010 and is payable through paypal (preferred,) US check or credit card.

ALL images sent to the website editor will be vetted to assure some measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the images have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light, and from the many images received daily, we try to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect ! If your photos do not get posted they are just not as good as they need to be. Yes, it's really that simple. Just reshoot and resubmit ! No harm done.

Finally, if there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime. I will do my best to be of help. I really hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.

Again: Welcome and enjoy !

Thank you! Congratulations on being a featured artist

Thank you, Andrew. I'm really enjoying your work, as well.

I love these new pieces!

Hi! I sure am! See you soon! I'm starting to get nervous! :)

Hi Andrew! I can't believe it has taken me so long to join crafthaus. Now I have to get my images posted and do all the rest of the stuff that is expected. I am super busy. See you Monday.

Hey Andrew,

I saw your collar piece in the Oddly Wearable online Exhbition and really like your description. I like studying the feminine iideal and image and don't usual see similar enquiries into masculinity, so I really enjoyed your piece and description. So, thanks! :)

Hi Andrew! Thank you for the kind words! I love the texture in your work, and your use of mixed media.

Hopping that we can share some actions and ideas. Thank you.

Nice to meet you, too! I plan to attend next year's symposium; I had a blast last weekend.

Good luck with finishing up the rest of your show. I can't wait to see your new work!

Ha! Just remembered that I put your Colonialist's Collar on my Jewelry Porn Tumblr last September: http://tumblr.com/xwhjx7yx5

Were you an undergrad at Bowling Green? The early work looks familiar to me. The later work has grown very nicely. I think Charon told me to keep an eye on you. Nice to see you again.

Heck yeah! Don't worry, there's no chance of me running outta dances.

Woo hoo! Thanks!

Thanks for the comment and friending. I enjoy what you're doing very much and look forward to seeing new work. Good luck in your final year!

Hi Andrew!  It is great that you put so much of your work up on crafthaus.  It looks terrific and your photos are spectacular.  Good luck with you thesis work.

Love the "Explative" piece

  Hi Andrew! Congrats :D  Yay!

Just opened up my digital metalsmith... your stuff looks mighty nice! Way to be! ;)

Thank you Andrew! Congrats for having some of your pieces in the "Metalsmith!" I would have been tickled pink if I were you! I am, and they are not even mine! lol.

Hello Andrew! 

My name is Danielle James, I am one of the co-chairs of the 2013 ECU symposium. I was wondering if you would be able to shoot me a email with a bio, some pictures of your work, and a brief discription of what your workshop would be. 

Thank you so very much, my email is ecusymposium@gmail.com :D

Cheers,

DJ
