Current membership.

Since we're just starting out, the Craft Dept. membership is only four artists. This will change in the future as we plan on including artists who will encompass a variety of craft media. For the time being the core membership includes: Victoria Christen, Kowkie Durst, Dara Hartman, and Brian R. Jones. We'll use this blog to post news about our individual events, interests, and event times and dates for our studio sales.

Welcome.

The Department of Craft is dedicated to the advancement of the contemporary craft

movement through sales, education, and community outreach. Our intention is to

promote quality crafts in the Pacific Northwest by not only focusing on craft artists

working locally but also by bringing in artists from around the country. Two annual

sales will bookend a fundraising effort to support a Portland based non-profit and/or

education institution that is focused on craft. By working together as a group of artists

we hope to enrich our community, support future craft artists, and develop a higher

standard of craft.
