Embroidery on a piece of knitting.

Kate Talbot: "I made ‘counterknit’ after a conversation with a friend about how difficult it was to make money from art. It is a tongue in cheek response to how I make my money by physically having to make it. I chose the £10 note purely because I…

I came across this image from the Met this morning and was intrigued by the craft skills that had to be employed here. I suspect that this is the work of at least two or three people (wood, metal and fiber artists) but of course, I could be wrong.

The idea for this exhibition happened when my deafness -- the most challenging of my medical issues and something I pretended didn’t exist for most of my life -- began insinuating itself into my creative fiber art practice. I…

Artist Fellowship Opportunites for Summer 2014

Peters Valley School of Craft is now accepting applications for one artist…

It wasn't all work in Pittsburgh and in between teaching the workshops, I got a chance to socialise a bit too. Quite apart from my non-metalsmithing friends, Elizabeth Avery and Kirk Savage and their wonderfully odd family, I also managed to see Lizzy DaVita and hooked up with Glen Gardner for an evening of dinner, his workshop and an exhibition.…
