As promised I am posting my lecture from the 2010 Society of North American Goldsmiths conference. I delivered the talk on March 11th in Houston, TX.
Some notes:
Below you will find two embedded documents which together represent the talk. One is the text which I read and the other are the slides I showed. I have left the presenter notes in the text, which will cue you when to change to the next image. (change) was used to go to the next slide, (click) was used to cue a transition on the same slide, which in .pdf format really means just go to the next page. There are a few slides which had timed automatic transitions and so they were not noted in the text. So I know it may be a bit bumpy in places to get the text and the powerpoint to match up as you read. Use common sense and it will be ok. Sorry.
I would like to have formatted the talk into a movie, but the combined struggle to find a free server to upload a 50 minute movie from which I can embed onto the blog, and the necessity of getting the lecture up quickly has led me to this slightly awkward format. When I have a bit more time I may try and solve these problems and turn the lecture into a fully digital, embeddable, and sharable plea for craft as a social reform movement. Also DVDs for educators may be an option in the not so distant future. Stay tuned.
Also, if you go through the trouble of reading the lecture I would really love to hear your thoughts, mostly on what the next step should be, but any discussion is good. I look forward to your comments.
Lastly, I would like to thank a few people who I didn't have time to thank during my presentation in Houston. Thanks to my partner Amy Weiks for her real time feed back, Anna Walker for being my beta tester, Mike Morris for editing my manuscript, Sandie Zilker and Diane Falkenhagen - the SNAG conference co-chairs - for taking a chance on someone so young and angsty, and finally my mentors in graduate school, Susie Ganch and Dr. Charles Brownell, without whose guidance this talk never would have developed.

One of my very favorites, as you know. I have fond memories at eating this in Istanbul at Necla and Kenan's home--and learning how to make it from her.
