Abstract
This Statement of Practice speaks to my role as the Program Coordinator for the MA in Critical Craft Studies at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, North Carolina from 2018 to 2020. I share how I initially connected to the program and how the program’s pedagogical frameworks and expansive community continue to influence my scholarly and artistic practices. Inspired by the writings of Anni Albers, Hernán Díaz, Gertrude Stein and Pablo Neruda, I focus on the networks of relationships which made the program unique. Through my own experiences as an administrator, weaver, folklorist, and current PhD student, I show that craft is grounded within an ecology of historical, contemporary, and potential future relationships which are made tangible though material objects, enlivened by stories, and find resonance though teaching, learning, writing, and curatorial opportunities, as demonstrated by the MA in Critical Craft Studies program.
