Patricia Atencio commented on Gabriel Craig's video 'The Gospel According to Craft'

Excellent and bravely done. We all should get out into the world and extol the virtues of the hand-crafted. However, I agree with Harriette that many people didn't listen because of the link to preaching and religion. It would help the cause to avoi…

I'm a big believer not just in the handmade but also in using some humor and a dash of subversion to get the message across. Nicely done! (Bravely too I might add.)

Harriete Estel Berman commented on Gabriel Craig's video 'The Gospel According to Craft'

I believe in the role of craft in the 21st century, but I felt uncomfortable with the Christian style preaching. One reason may be that I am Jewish so the evangelical Christian approach to converting people to Christianity makes me uncomfortable. T…

Gabriel-Sorry, I'm starting over. I am afraid that you will be eaten alive or lose your sterling view of meaningful interaction in the world. Love your videos and message. Craft as religion is not so farfetched. It provides a way for many people to…

I think Creativity is within everyone, it just gets buried. Capitalism likes it that way because it makes people need, and most importantly, want. Craft is compete while Kraft leaves you wanting more.

I received your email on the wikipedia entry on metalsmith. I would like to invite you to participate in www.wikismith.org "An online collaborative encyclopedia dedicated to blacksmithing, goldsmithing, silversmithing, and other metal working techniques."

I started this project because I felt like the metalworking entries on wikipedia were to industry focused. Since wikismith is just a baby it is in desperate need for entries to help get it off the ground. I would love it if you would contribute.

Thought your article in American Craft was great. The "child of the divorce of art and craft" phrase was poignant and well supported. Congrats on the publication!
