Although contemporary American crafts are widely exhibited and
appreciated, very little information is available about the artists
themselves, their training, careers, inspirations, and feelings
about their work, and place in society. As part of a large oral
history and survey project of the Research Center for Arts and
Culture of Columbia University, ten personal narrative interviews
with craftspeople were edited and collected for The Craftsperson
Speaks. The selected artists represent a variety of disciplines and
media, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, metalwork, and fiber,
and also exhibit a balance of age, ethnicity, regionalism, and
stage of career development. Each interview is prefaced by brief
life and career data and followed by information on exhibit sources
and professional affiliations and honors and a photographic
illustration of a representative piece of work. The volume's
introduction, written by the project coordinator, Mary Greeley,
offers an overview of the history of the craftsperson in the United
States, and a final bibliography provides sources for further
reference. This combination of information and insights will be of
interest and value to artists, teachers, students, art
professionals, and the general public. Greenwood Press is pleased
to publish it in time to help inaugurate 1993 and the Year of the
American Craft.
