I'm not actually interested in craft. But I did take this class, which says something. Quite frankly I'm a little tired of the constant labeling that happens within this subject matter. Anything could be used as a "craft material." The discourse that has been happening within this class so far has been frustrating. A lot of it is focused around labeling, defining, and excluding. "What is art?, find a 'craft' artist, why are you working in a craft material?," etc,. I wonder how important these discussions really are. Maybe we should be thinking about what these materials mean to us now. Not whether or not something is "craft," or "art." I think a lot about the position of clay or ceramics as a material in our [post digital?] age. I don't really think of it as a "craft material," I think of it as a great sculptural material--because that's what it is. I agree with Mike--it's all about love for making things. I think we're putting a little too much into "craft." We're over-thinking it, and making it into more than it actually is.
