Abstract
As educators, artists, and craftspeople (and by this I mean both craft media like crochet or baskets as well as the craft of teaching), we celebrate practice of working with the handmade perhaps as much as the resulting well-crafted work. However, I have often overheard ceramics and craft mourn the loss of students’ ability to crochet or model clay – and to even express concern for adult students who have scarcely ever worked with their hands in a direct engagement with tactile art media.
