FALL/WINTER 2020
What is craft? Craft is the medium by which we express ourselves. And this exhibition shows the variety of voices that do just that - some with skills and experience, some with spontaneity and improvisation. The common thread that ties this work together is heart and exuberance, along with color, pattern and movement. This work does not want to sit still or hide in a corner, nor should it. It is a happy diversion we can all use right now. *Claire Sanford, juror
