I don't stop by here often so I'm not up to speed on the current art vs. craft discussion, but an off the top of my head response is that craft is often thought of as less than art, but to achieve profiency at a craft can turn someone into a true artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086827674284210312.post-34344215281498398452009-12-05T09:43:51.032-06:002009-12-05T09:43:51.032-06:00I agree with Rima.
