This fall I had the honor of serving on a review panel for @centerforcraft with Rachel Winston, Black Diaspora Archivist, Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection, The University of Texas at Austin, LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections Hrag Vartanian, Editor-in-Chief and Co-founder of Hyperallergic. Had to recuse myself from projects connected to students and people I know, of course - and am super proud of how many of our students and alums from @macraftstudieswwc applied (Looking at you, Maru!) Huge congratulations to all the recipients!!!! I cannot wait for you all to learn more about these amazing researchers and their projects. Announcement: The Center for Craft is excited to announce our inaugural Center for Craft Archive Fellows! The Craft Archive Fellowship supports archival research that tells more accurate and expanded craft histories, leading to a more inclusive future for craft. These six Fellows receive a $5,000 honorarium to conduct research and will be published in a special issue of Hyperallergic and a virtual program with the American Craft Council.   Congratulations to our 2022 Center for Craft Archive Fellows: Photos follow this order: Maru López (San Diego, CA) Craft, Lists, and Fairs: Constructing Puerto Rican Identity in the 1950s Siera Hyte (Waterville, ME) detsadatliyvsesdi: struggle to hold onto or cling to one another Elizabeth G.

8.12.2022 Returned from MACR Residency with Covid. Still pretty low energy, breathing shallow but inhaler helps. Scott has been amazing, yet again. Posting pics from the last month. This is our MACR office in Jensen, Warren Wilson College. Filled with supplies for Residency (we had to buy all things from dishes to coffeemakers to expo markers to tea back in 2017 - restocked this July). I barely spent any time here. Dani @dani.burke painted it, built the furniture (we didn’t have campus options) and added the rug. Jessie @gertrudepolyester joined during Covid, so working remotely has been the plan. We (Jessie and I) tagged things to store, ship, pass on, and will easily empty this office out by the program’s closure in June 2023. That poster of the questions, Ben @benlignel, from @lisanicolejarrett 100 Questions workshop is brilliant. Was in fall of 2018, still is now. Have to remember to gift copies of Unpacking the Collection from Museum of Contemporary Craft @craftmuseum to everyone in January! 1 open office door 2 books 3 + 4 posters from Mapping Craft and 100 Questions, design by Ben Lignel 5,6,7, 9 + 10 rolls of class notes saved, now documented and recycled from classes with Sarah Khan @sarahkkhan, Judith Leemann @judithleemann, Namita Wiggers (me!) and Lisa Jarrett 9 bulletin board with promotional cards and ROLODEX materials #craftscape #thisiscraft #craftislong #whichcraft #craft #macraftstudieswwc https://www.instagram.com/p/ChK_XcRvfRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

10.11.21 First time back at @haystack_school since the 2019 Board Meeting. Feels so strange and so familiar. Spent a few lovely days with @cal_der in Boston and saw Fabric of a Nation @mfaboston (thanks @michellemillarfisher for tickets!). More on the show later - sharing detail of Bisa Butler @bisabutler “To God and Truth,” 2019 and photo of outside of building with Butler’s work and flags flying. #thisiscraft #craftscape #craftislong https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7YOp5lfWJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
