It doesn't get much grosser than this, Harriette...we're just as guilty of nasty taxidermy on this side of the pond, if not mores. I found another YouTube video of inept taxidermy around the world that you might want to shield your eyes from when I post.

Cuteoverload Holocaust
Greetings from Scotland! I'm still here, thanks to the wrath of Hurricane Irene (and quite possibly the ineptitude of United Airlines). It's been nice to have an extra week to dig a little deeper into Scottish culture (like the haggis burger I enjoyed at an Edinburgh Fringe Festival gig)...
Dammit, Harriete! You keep punishing me for choosing NCECA over Craft Forward and having to go to Maker Faire instead of SNAG. Thanks a bazillion for the recap of this lecture. I'm incredibly jealous I wasn't there to hear it myself.
You're a national treasure.

Craft Forward Symposium - Keynote Critical Point, the Risk of Craft
Now that the Craft Forward Symposium is over, I sooooo.....wish that I could hear the Glenn Adamson keynote address over again. First of all, his lecture was filled with multiple levels of metaphor and symbolism. The images and ideas expressed were all revelatory. Mike Kelley’s "More Love Hou...

Amen. Thank you for helping to fill some of the gaps in my memory from the conference. It's been a joy to sift through your posts and get your take on the various panels and lectures.
I was surprised and delighted to read Wendy Rosen's post about the conference as well.
XOXO

ACC Conference - Why the ACC is more famous for football than craft?
The Devil Inside Brooch, Recycled tin cans, Harriete Estel Berman A rude awakening. When I told a distant relative that I was blogging for the ACC Conference she was blown away impressed, shocked, surprised!!!!!.....until she found out it was not THE ACC, the Atlantic Coast Conference (col...
touché, Hipster douche! This elongated vase shape DOESN'T go back thousands of years, though...it' a bastardization of a really beautiful, classic vase form. Aesthetically, they give me the willies because I think the original forms are so beautiful, balanced and sublime. You're free to think what you want. I think the process and skill are AMAZING, and I hope I communicated that, but I think the objects themselves are aesthetically bankrupt displays of conspicuous wealth. That's one man's opinion.

Size Queens
Have you ever seen huge porcelain vases and wondered how they're made? A few days ago, we toured a factory that makes nothing but 12-foot (and higher) vases. The vases are THROWN BY HAND! It takes two people to be able to throw that much clay, and even then, they have to do them in t...
