A Bit on Art and Craft

My apologies that there was not a blog this Sunday morning. A confluence of unfortunate circumstances got in the way. Working while traveling is a bit of gamble but at the end of this trip, I have found that I am short an assistant for the time being and I have had some unexpected family issues to attend to among a lot of little bits of craziness. But … I head back tomorrow! Phew! Looking forward to getting back to a normal-ish schedule and get back to working on some new projects that I will share with you shortly.

In the meantime, since so many of you seem to love the little historical bits I bring up on occasion, here is a great Ted Talk about how and why our society differentiates art from craft and why painting and sculpture are thought of as fine art while jewelry and quilts and the like are called craft. Its rather interesting and, really, kind of silly. Let’s see what you think.
