In My Defense

My interest to take this course is rooted in making things. Making art is one of the best things a human being can ever do and this course offers just that. We have learned a new process to make art using glass. It's kind of a tough material to use and the laws that govern making with glass aren't very flexible. It's interesting to see explore limits of materials (I'm not positive materials actually have limits, but let's assume they do and see what happens). It's interesting to use all sorts of materials. What is a craft material? A material that has been traditionally used for craft? Is paint a craft material? Blood? How about talking, is that a craft material? Usually not, but what if we appropriated them as such?
