Dear Friends, Welcome to the world of online commentary via Baulines Craft Guild. I hope you will all take the opportunity to use the blog that Bonnie has set up for us,and enjoy increased communication with each other. This could be the Daily Kos of the craft world!
For starters, I wonder if any of you have thoughts about Glenn Adamson's comments at his recent lecture at CCA, that the world of fine craft, built so carefully following WWII is being systematically dismantled. Do you see evidence of this? Do you feel that the world of conceptual craft is displacing the world of the highly crafted art object, or functional work of art? If so, what are the ramifications of this? Have any of you read Glenn's book, "Thinking Through Craft"? and if so, can I borrow your copy? Let us know your thoughts!

Baulines Craft Guild Blog Spot
Hi everyone, This is Bonita Cohn, the web administrator of http://www.baulinescraftguild.org.
The idea to make a blog came up at the board meeting.
Since blogs are still relatively new to me I'm still learning how to manage them. At the present I believe I can directly add postings and anyone can make comments. I would like to figure out a way that anyone can directly add postings. I think it is possible to have up to 100 people approved to add postings so that should work just fine.
For now if you have anything you need posted just email it to me and I'll post it. Anyone will be able to comment on it. I will put a link to the blog on our web site.
This blog will be great for sharing ideas. It can be helpful for discussions on your art, announcing shows, and other Guild business.
I believe there is an option for you all to choose if you would like an email sent to you every time a posting/comment is made to the site. That would be up to you. I'm not quite sure how that works yet but would not be something you were required to do.
I'm very excited about this but at the same time apprehensive.
For now, please send me any info you want posted here. I think this is going to be fun.
Bloggingly yours, Bonita
