Craft In America Series to Air on PBS in May

Heads up on a new three-part series coming up on PBS at the end of May: Craft In America.

The mission of Craft in America is to document and advance original handcrafted work through programs in all media made accessible to all Americans.  We are dedicated to the exploration, preservation and celebration of craft, the work of the hand, and their impact on our nation’s cultural heritage.

CRAFT IN AMERICA is a multi-faceted journey into the origin and continuation of craft traditions. The project illustrates the craftsmanship passed from artist to artist over the last two centuries—and highlights the cultural significance of this craftsmanship. Ceramics, glass, wood, furniture, metalwork, jewelry, fiber and baskets are included in this ground-breaking project.

DOCUMENTARY: AIRING WEDNESDAY MAY 30th 2007 at 8, 9 and 10pm (check local listings)

Editor's Note: Tragically, I found no mention of scrapbooking as one of the featured crafts, but thought some of my readers might be interested in the series anyway.
