Would a plumber donating his services be held to that same stipulation? Or a masseuse? I can donate the same exact pieces…"

Behind the Brooch
This exhibition focuses on a side of the brooch we usually do not pay much attention to: the back side. Our first look is naturally always trained at the front, but when we do take the time to look at the back of a brooch, it will oftentimes reveal a surprising aspect for us, a delightful little secret. With this exhibition, I would like to let you in on that secret, something that typically only the maker and the wearer know about. I hope you will enjoy with me this selection of brooches by…See More

Chuck Domitrovich replied to Timothy McMahon's discussion Politely turning our backs to craft in the group Handthought"Years ago, when I first started selling my work-- it was all production then-- I had no idea how to price it and so I priced it in the range of work that was already out there in the venues I was approaching to carry my work. As a result, I hugely…"

Handthought
Opining Craft has mutable and personal meaning, Handthought explores craft theory in reaction to objects, life, and text without supposition of a universal definition.See More

Maureen Brusa Zappellini said… - yeah- def. a good place to be- it's developed into a real community. I'm a fan of this online stuff you know :-) I finally feel connected to other independent artists- I've craved this interaction since graduating art school a gazillion years ago ... here's a pic of me from that era hypnotizing lobsters (as all New Englanders should know ho to do)

- Welcome to crafthaus, the network for artists and fine craftsmen/women ! I am very glad you joined us !
Please add your thoughts to the blogs and discussion forums that are already 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.
I really hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun. 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 April 15, 2010 and is payable through paypal (preferred,) US check or credit card.
All images sent to the website will be reviewed to assure some measure of overall quality control. 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 in both content and photo quality. From the many images received daily, we try to post as many as possible.
Crafthaus does not support any kind of commercial solicitation of our membership. Anyone sending out communication of that kind will be suspended from the site.
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.
Again: Welcome and enjoy !

NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way. Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation. Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there. I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson. You can see more of her work at: …See More
