More DescriptionTo: Craft is the publication project of the 2021 graduating class of the Critical Craft Studies MA Program at Warren Wilson College. This project shares select resources, research, and lessons learned during the cohort of 2021's course of study, but also includes contributions from the 2022 Cohort and invited faculty. The publication consists in a set of 39 postcards focusing on sensorial relationships with material and making. It acknowledges tough questions of systemic social bias by focusing on nondominant voices. As a form of resistance to academia's prevailing closed power structures, which they are part of, the 2021 cohort chose an open-ended format for this publication. Delivering and dispersing their work via postcards aspires to scatter ideas widely: an act of nourishing and seeding the landscape of craft. Postcards exist in a system of gifting, receiving, responding, and re-gifting. They are tactile and social, and communicate ideas horizontally. Their mode is personal and interpersonal. Their circulation is intentional, accreting layers of meaning as they move across time and place.
