Warren Wilson to feature Namita Gupta Wiggers in webinar on craft and culture

Announcement from Warren Wilson College:

Join us for our next webinar, “Building a Craftscape: What is a Field and Who Does it Include?”

Wednesday, November 11 | 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET | Live on Zoom

There is no single history of craft. Craft is at the core of cultural knowledge, learning between generations, and community connections. Although museums and academia are considered cultural centers, these spaces do not include the breadth and depth of craft histories. In this webinar, Namita Gupta Wiggers, Director, MA in Critical Craft Studies will discuss how building a craftscape moves us from inviting people to have a seat at a table to rethinking the table itself. What is possible when we shift our thinking towards building a field connected to the lands beneath our feet?
