Pic 2Well, thank goodness for DVR…I managed to record the premiere of Craft in America Wednesday night, and I plan to watch it sometime tonight or tomorrow. But I’ve been watching some of the buzz about the show at some of the other craft blogs and overall the feedback has been pretty positive. The folks over at Greenjeans did a live blog and a wrap up of each episode on Wednesday night. While it’s not exactly a “live” blog anymore, it’s still a good read, and you can join in on the discussion about the series…you can check out each blog post here:

Plus, I noticed that the Craft in America web site has been updated to include a whole wealth of information including sections on the history of different mediums (fiber, wood, metal, glass, etc), bios of each artist featured in the series, and downloadable educator’s guides. You can also order the DVD of the documentary on the web site, check out the schedule of the eight-city Craft in America exhibition and find out more about the Craft in America book, which is scheduled to come out in Fall of this year. Check it out….
