Indie Artisans and "Crafty Bastards"
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-09-27/indie-artisans-and-crafty-bastards
We may live in an era of mass-produced, disposable "stuff." But a growing community of artists and craftsmen are thriving on the web and at local markets, plying their handmade wares and avant-garde art directly to consumers. We meet the local artisans behind "Crafty Bastards," the city's biggest craft fair.

This is not new. I hope that you can mention the Torpedo Factory Art Center which has been offering hand made "art" including clothing, pottery, glass, bronze,sculpture, etc for 36 years and is a great place to visit and watch the artists at work. WE are open almost every day of the year. Please come visit us.

I just rinsed beans in this great little ceramic berry bowl that I bought from a potter almost 15 years ago. It fits my hand, works beautifully, practically glows with deep greens and teals -- and makes me think of lovely Del Ray Alexandria, where I met the student who made it. I suppose a crummy plastic thing from Wal*Mart would work as well, but -- yuck. That could never put a smile on my face as I'm making lunch.
