CraftEdu.com


My Facebook friend, Donna Kato, invited me to become a fan of CraftEdu, which led me to the website here. Go watch the presentation of work by the teachers - it's breathtaking!

Donna has a blog about how this got started here.

Donna doesn't really know me - she invited all her Facebook friends. She is an internationally known polymer clay artist. I used to watch her on the old Carol Duvall show. She makes very artsy (as opposed to cutesy) clay pieces that sometimes don't even look like clay. Did you know you can polish polymer clay to look like jade or marble, for instance? She's amazing.

Speaking of Carol Duvall, the other day I received an email from Ankara Designs, which is Ann and Karen Mitchell, two more very talented polymer clay artists. They were asking for support for a new web show with Carol Duvall. They said the show has financial backers who are interested in how many people would watch something like this.

The website doesn't seem to be up yet but I did send an email to that yahoo address. I think these web shows are absolutely the wave of the future. I love my Tivo - but these you can watch any time, any where you have an Internet connection - on your lunch hour at work, on your iPod, in your studio while working.

This is why I love the Internet - such a great way to connect with like-minded people!

Very interesting stuff... The Internet is such a fantastic resource with sites such as craftedu and the TED lectures and all of the tutorials and the college lectures online and the wide variety of art and information available plus sites such as etsy.
