art or craft
How about when your glass art is lumped in with Garden Art!!!! as in
artigras for one, and there's another i can't recall just now! i refuse to even apply as i feel my work is demeaned! The craft is the technique, as far as i'm concerned, the art is the design and execution of the work. Any idiot like brady can craft the piece and/or teach some yahoos to do the work but designing originals and creating them with flawless workmanship is harder to stumble upon. That is the art. m wrote in message ... Sounds like you kinda agree with Steve, and I do like your outlook on it. We learn and practice our craft, so we can produce our art, so long as we step it up from reproducing pre-drawn patterns. Kind of a neat and succinct definition. As far as glass crafts being lumped into the craft tents at art shows and exhibits, I'd dare say it's more of a practical organizational decision on behalf of the oranizers. Most of the glass booths at the exhibit that originally brought this topic up, were trying to sell suncatchers and trinkets buy the dozens. There wasn't one booth where I didn't recognize patterns released by Spectrum and other popular pattern publishers. Of the 6 or so booths, there was only one, in my opinion, that actually had original art on display, for display's sake, and at that, she too was peddling the popular trinkets and such.

But yes I get very annoyed when my art gets lumbered in just as craft, and not as art. You see I believe it is the art of the craftperson, for we all have to know our craft. Elaine. |

art or craft
Dunno. I leave that to others to judge. I make kaleidoscopes using
SG as the principal medium. All are original designs, some limited series, some one-of-a-kind. I refer to myself as a craftsman, many of my counterparts (mostly in US) call themselves artists. I belong to a UK Guild of Craftsmen, one of the membership criteria for which is "originality of design"..... On 15 Dec, 06:02, wrote: Okay Frank, how does our *use* of the medium determine whether it's deemed art or craft? Making 5 nearly identical panels for sale is craft or art? Dennis Brady, a gentleman who's presence here isn't overly welcomed by many, produces a varied line of stained glass sailing ships. I can honestly say I've never seen that done elsewhere. Ergo, to me at least, it's original. However, he does it with a commercial bias, he's only in it for the money. Is he an artist or a craftsperson?

Artists consider their work art. It seems to be important to them. Those
of us that do SG to make a living, for the most part are artisans, doing and redoing the same stuff by changing the sizes and or colors. Many think what I do is art, I always thought it was craft. I don't correct them. -- JK Sinrod http://www.sinrodstudios.com http://myconeyislandmemories.com |

Hi JK, it is art.
I have been playing with glass as well, I love the colours and shapes you can do. But paint & ink are colours too, you make shapes out of that as well, and paint a picture or print an etched plate all shape & colour, pottery and glazes are shapes and colour as well. We can say sculpture is shape and colour too. I just love it, and it is all ART. Elaine. |
