Nisato Akio



As a craft scout and ceramic artist I am continually looking for new and innovative contemporary ceramic art. Currently I am obsessed with Nisato Akio's work. Nisato Akio’s has mastered the historic technique of embedding rice grains in porcelain in order to create translucency.

Middlebury Arts Walk


Last night I scouted out the Middlebury Arts Walk in downtown Middlebury, Vermont. The highlight of the show was photographs by Emma Powell who photographs her subjects through the viewfinder of old Kodak cameras. Check out http://emmapowellphotography.com/

The Craft Scout Oath


On my honor
I will do my best
to do my duty to Martha Stewart
and my online community
and to obey the craft scout law;
to help other crafters at all times;
to keep crafts aesthetically strong;
conceptually relavent;
and in good taste.
