| Over the course of five hours, major influences on craft artists come to life: Memory, Landscape, Community, Origins, and Process. How does each play a part in how craft came to be? What about them drives artists to do what they do? How do craft artists develop and adapt their techniques in today’s world?
Through their own words, dozens of craft artists reveal what makes their work – and the lives they lead – unique. View the programs online or purchase DVDs of the Peabody Award-winning series for your home library.
