I've been sitting watching the news and sinking sinking sinking. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you ♥️

[@christinenewell2679]

Me too.

[@E-Kat]

Staying away from the news is the only way of protecting our sanity. All news is manipulated to make us crumble into a frightened individuals, afraid of tomorrow and scared to speak up about what they stand for, in fear of being punished. This crazy world will still carry on if we stop watching the news. Just get some news headlines from the Reuters News Agency, very occasionally only. But it's much better not to surrender to the brainwashing . 😊

[@MsMadmax1]

I love this series. Not only to see how some of the crafts are taught and made but it gives such a positive sense that things are actually being made by hand again and that these skills have value and not just monetarily. During the pandemic, I started crafting--teaching myself via KZbin videos. I learned how to make hand soap and laundry soap. I learned several baking and cooking skills that I never thought I'd master. I started making occasional wreathes and the bows to adorn them. I also started making silk flower arrangements. Making something of your own from start to finish is something very satisfying for the soul. And there is an abundance of crafts out there to learn. It's a very hopeful series in that we haven't been reduced to automated robots that can do little more than sit at a screen and play video games. We create and that satisfies a very primal need in us!

[@lourdestoro7985]

Amen! Yes we are spirits!

[@Beadinmomy]

Another excellent video from Craft in America. This kind of education can inspire our country's youth and should be shown in our schools.

[@charity2727]

[@freerangegirl4457]

When he took that lapis box apart and it became a bracelet and brooch i lost all the air in my lungs. Wow.

It was an honor to be included in JEWELRY by Craft in America and featured on PBS. Jewelry has so much more to say than just a language about the value of materials.

[@militarystation2808]

Hello beautiful lady how are you doing today?...hope all is well with you and your family?

[@sazennonumber]

I think you are amazing and your pieces are stunning. Very meaningful and precious, including your message of care for the environment and our planet.

This was so magical. I loved it all, and I gasped at some of Art Smith’s pieces. ❤️

[@volgue2222]

this woman who is doing craft in America is very remarkable, she has the skills of her ancestors and she does it very well!😑

[@lesliemonty31]

Inspiring program! It makes me want to tap into my creativity in a new way.

[@Ipoetize]

So it is said and So shall it be. Good Luck Leslie working in Your New Creativity!

[@updosystem]

Truly moved me! Each and everyone. Viewing all types of art inspires me but it is the artists and their stories that really warms my spirit! My art gets washed away and is morphed into the memory of a special event for my client. Crafting is peace and joy!

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

@Updo wedding hair education I share all those same feelings and could not have expressed it better!! But also in regards to you describing your art and creations as something that is ultimately "washed away" thus gone forever. I have always had a great appreciation and draw to artists, carafts people and creators who put so much time, effort and passion into their creations of things that are never intended to last and be around forever. Often only having a life span of hours or days. Like the hairstyles you create or chalk creations on the pavement or large sandcastle structures created only to be washed away much easier and quickly then it took the person to create it. Of course those things can live on in photographs or film possibly forever ... But a picture just does not give people the full range of emotions they have seeing the art and creations in real life. Anywho .. I'm not sure if that makes much sense .. But in the end for at least my own thoughts ... I hope you know that what you do is every bit as important and respectable as any other artist, creator or craftsperson that has everben or will be ! Thanks for sharing you thoughts and comments!!

So wonderful!!! I've really enjoyed Art Smith's story. What amazing talent! I went immediately to look up his pieces.

[@E-Kat]

We make art when life's good. One falls ill and all priorities change their places. We can live without art but we can't carry on without good health and good health of our members of family. I was making my pieces for exhibitions and then, my daughter fell ill. Everything stopped. Then my husband fell ill, and even more things stopped. Normal life stopped. People don't know how incredibly fortunate they're, if their life responsibilities allow them to carry on with their work. It's so amazing and sad at the same time to watch this. It's such a painful reminder of the good life which is completely gone now and can never be resurrected. Thank you for sharing this dream like documentary. ❤

[@E-Kat]

Now, everyone needs to stay away from KZbin and all social media, and start making their own art! You don't have to be train artist to call yourself an artist! You're even a bigger artist if you weren't trained, as you aren't ruined by your teachers as you already knew what your art should look like. People in ancient civilisations made completely incomprehensible art as they didn't waste their lives like we do. At the same time, programs like this can change one's life for the better. Thank you.

[@minerva5025]

So beautiful, you're amazing.

[@tesshowdieshell6553]

Wow. I loved this. Just being introduced to jewelry making and the history of it. Art Smith, what an awesome, talented man!

[@laurais4047]

Wow, loved the NM indigenous representation at the end. I grew up around indigenous art and missed it so much when I moved away. There's such a soul to some of the NM artists that draws me in.

[@nancyluberecki9547]

In awe of the craftsmanship of each artist featured here. Thank you for this kind of programming. Sets my thoughts soaring.

[@templemanning6180]

fantastic! All their stories add so much to the pieces they create - this really showcased the hearts and minds of artists.

[@HarrieteEstelBerman]

I agree. I wonder how amazing it would be to have new "craft" visionaries every week.

[@arikkraft5755]

I like that idea. There are allot of great visionaries who could use some attention.

Thank you for including Robert K. Liu in this episode. Along with his late (and deeply missed) wife, Caroline, he has been one of, if not the most, influential people in the jewelry \ wearable art world. Many artists have some kind of agenda, even an axe to grind, but "Ornament" magazine, while giving a platform for artist's political statements, has never lost sight of the meaning and purpose of wearable art it is a statement of the artist's and the wearer's beliefs (this is who I am!), but also the belief in beauty. The beauty may be vastly different to the point of being radical, maybe even controversial, but "Ornament" has always been a forum for beauty and identity, a very thoughtful and insightful look at one aspect of human nature.

[@kachi2782]

The only thing which reconciles me with mankind, ... art. Although i have never understood how artists could eat animals. To me art means understanding and respecting nature and therefore being vegan. I can't respect truly an artist using material of animal origin or eating animals. Most of the greatest artists and smartest people in History were vegetarians and or vegans from Da Vinci to Einstein, from Anthony of Egypt to Pythagoras, Gandhi, Kafka, Tolstoy, Tesla, Voltaire, Marie Shelley, Benjamin Franklin, Al Ma'arri, John Wesley, Richard Wagner, Mozart, HG Wells, Cervantes, Steve Jobs, Cleopatra, Ramses II, Akhenaton, i mean the least is endless of people who were highly intelligent or highly artistic and all chose not to make animals suffer. Even today to me the nature of a great artist or a great person is his or her diet.

Check out Margaret De Patta and Paul Lobel, just a couple people who Art Smith imitated. There were many more.
