Craft Talk

I stumbled across a great crafty video from Leslie Hall and the LYs this morning. This video has it all: a great example of a thematic craft practice, the power of the internet to promote craft, and the humor that can make craft accessible. I especially enjoy how as soon as the sweater is done Leslie calls a curator and the piece gets recognized by the "important people." I hope you enjoy this tidbit. Thanks to Sarah Holden for showing it to me.

Comments Welcome,

-Gabriel

Wow, that's impressive.

Haven't looked at the rest of your blog, but I'd guess you're familiar with Richard Sennett's "The Craftsman"?

Oh man...pretty damn good! I was watching and listening to it at the same time I was listening to early Bee Gees. It was really weird...Gabriel, we want to figure out how to get you here to NYC to do some of your Collegiate Jeweler pieces. Let's try and talk before long and see if we can't figure it out...

Leslie was at Felt Club this past x-mas. I could barely see the stage from my table, but I got to hear her rocking out. Super cool
