Art & Craft, A Tangled Relationship

It can be difficult to define art as well as craft, and even more difficult to distinguish between the two (partially because the lines are blurry). But here’s a good definition we found recently:

“Art and craft, you realize, can in no way be separate from each other.  Art is the concept, or mental image of the artist, craft is the making of that concept or image. This applies to any process or medium where an artist is imposing ideas upon materials for a given end.”  – Dick Beasley

Of course, there are so many defintions out there…and we are always looking for new ones!
