The MA in Critical Craft Studies at Warren Wilson College celebrates its very first graduating cohort, their mentors and faculty, in a rumination-friendly print publication launched in July 2020. This publication demonstrates how the class of 2020 engaged with craft in its multiple forms, and how students critically respond to shifting perspectives in craft, celebrate a diversity of voices, and convey the pedagogical principles of the MA in Critical Craft Studies.
“As a cohort we believe that craft is slippery, we accept its resistance to being pinned down in all capacities and use this as a strength in our research. This publication will act as a marker of current research interests within local, regional and global contexts. It addresses partner organizations, prospective students, craft/art/design scholars in the US and abroad who, like us, are invested in challenging the canon, and opening up possibilities in and for Craft.”
