Keeping the Craft

How is craft different or distinct from art, and how is it evolving? How do the various crafting practices - both traditional and modern - fit into the contemporary idea of art and artmaking? We speak to Lindy Joubert, vice-president of the World Craft Council, about her work in various sustainability initiatives, and the importance of craft in the 21st century.
