ACC Library
Greta Tacke from the American Association of Woodturners recently dropped in to the American Craft Council and brought the library a wealth of resources for woodturners and turned wood admirers.
Woodturning Today: A Dramatic Evolution is a beautiful new book celebrating the 25th anniversary of the AAW. It describes the history of woodturning and the organization. It also celebrates the role the AAW has had on the development of contemporary woodturning and wood art. Plus, the photography is outstanding.
The AAW holds annual symposiums, and the ACC Library is now a repository of the handouts and videos from 2008-2010. For ...

American Craft Week, a joint project of Craft in America and CRAFT (Craft Retailers and Artists for Tomorrow), starts this Friday, October 1. The American Craft Council is a proud major sponsor. We'll be in Minneapolis, celebrating the grand opening of the Council's new office and toasting the 2010 Aileen Osborn Webb Award recipients, but as the 10-day celebration of all things craft unfolds, we're excited to check out local offerings--such as the Northrup King Building's fine craft exhibit and design event.
If only we could be everywhere at once! Behold just a smattering of the fun:

Still buzzing from one of the most exciting presidential elections in recent (or even not so recent) memory, I jumped a plane out of LaGuardia on Thursday morning and headed to Chicago for what what would surely be one of the most exciting SOFA Chicago exhibitions in years. (For the uninitiated, SOFA is an acronym for Sculptural Objects and Functional Art.)
