First Hand
“First Hand,” will function as an ongoing collection of tips, musings, and information gained primarily from ‘first hand’ experience. It will cover topics like: How I built a website from scratch, pricing and packaging, why Lady Gaga would wear your work, and a plethora of other exciting stuff in between.

Behind the Brooch
This exhibition focuses on a side of the brooch we usually do not pay much attention to: the back side.

I hope you will enjoy with me this selection of brooches by…See More

Cappy Counard said… - Hello Jill. Good to make the connection here on crafthaus. I really like the newest pieces that you have on your page. Reflection #5 is gorgeous and the image is lovely. What is the flesh colored material and are you carving it? I have been doing some carving myself and appreciate the forms that you are using.

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

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately
- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient
For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
