Craftschools.us is proud to announce the launch of our new Podcast series, Make/Time!

Hosted by Stuart Kestenbaum, the series explores fine craft, inspiration and the creative process through interviews with established craft artists from across the field.  The podcast is geared toward anyone interested in the people or the behind-the-scenes perspectives of makers. Episodes are approximately 20 minutes long.
 
The first three interviews, www.craftschools.us/podcast.htmlnow available on iTunes or through www.craftschools.us/podcast  feature craft artists from varying disciplines and experiences. 

• ​Tom Joyce: sculptor and MacArthur Fellow known for his work architectural work and large public sculptures in forged steel.

• Tim McCreight: jeweler, writer, and publisher who has begun an innovative program with West African jewelers

• Sonya Clark: artist and head of the Craft and Material Studies Program at Virginia Commonwealth University, whose work in textiles often addresses issues of race in America

The interview with Sonya Clark was already featured in the news section of the CultureType website which focuses on African-American artists. ​
 
“Having conversations with leading and emerging craft artists gives me the opportunity to dig deeply behind the scenes,” says Kestenbaum. “Every episode gives us a special look at the person behind the work, their ideas and the inspiration that helps them achieve excellence in this field.”
 
The podcast is a project of CraftSchools.us and is part of “The Craft School Experience” initiative that promotes the value of immersive, residential craft schools across the country.
