Craft Advisory Council

The Craft Advisory Council is composed of distinguished members of the arts community with knowledge, experience, and insight into today’s arts and crafts arena, including educators, gallery owners, craft collectors, curators, and craft media artists. Council members serve as connectors, conveners, advisors, and review panelists and work alongside our Education staff to shape and grow the Center for Craft Studies.

The Center for Craft Studies offers a host of classes, workshops, and other opportunities for students to engage in craft media and creative industries. The council will meet quarterly to provide creative insights and guidance on the primary elements of our program, including the Certificate of Mastery of Craft and Creative Industries, Ceramic Artist-in-Residence, Contemporary Craft Lecture Series, Master Class Workshops, and Emerging Craft Teacher Mentorship Program.
