Craft Alliance

Juried by Craft Alliance’s inaugural Visiting Artist, Buzz Spector, Cut/Fold/Press brings together compelling work on a seemingly simple material and craft form. The exhibition asks paper artists to explore and consider the many forms that paper art takes — books, sculpture, and sheet.

"I remember watching Grandma Una work, her hands steady, her focus absolute. She once told me about a Cathedral Window quilt she worked on, carefully ensuring that no fabric pattern repeated across its 480-plus pieces. But near the end, she discovered a duplicate. True to form, she nearly unraveled the quilt just to replace that single piece." Our executive director Bryan Knicely's next Craft Conversations blog post is up.
