The American craft tradition did not just appear, fully-formed and mature. Where have our craft practices come from? How do they continue? The artists featured in "Origins" tie their work to early craft techniques and demonstrate how they are involved in passing these techniques to others in a continuum of creativity.
Artists:
- Philip Simmons, blacksmith
- Vernon Owens, master potter
- Teri Greeves, beadworker
- Jim Bassler, weaver and teacher
- Paul Stankard, glass artist
