"The crafts artists whose work is shown here represent a new breed. Concerned not primarily with the expression of material and natural form as were their predecessors, these crafts artists are direct descendants of the Arts and Crafts movement that shaped the early part of this century. Their ethos is the unifying moral and artistic force of craft and the reconnection of that force with the everyday. These artists, working in wood, glass, metal, and title, come to their craft with formal backgrounds in fine arts, architecture, industrial design, even psychology and theology. They work in a dazzling array of styles that draw from historical work, folk art, modern painting, architecture, and high technology, as well as the traditions and techniques of fine craftsmanship."--Book jacket.
