Comments on: DVD Review: PBS Craft in America (4/5) http://turningturning.com/dvd-review-pbs-craft-in-america-45/ An art therapist on creativity, healing, and the power of making.

I then happened across your blog as I began seeking the lyrics for the hymn being sung during the credits as well as the name of the craft community featured right before the potter in Helena...now I cannot remember even the name of the woman who started the workshop. It began with weaving and then became a workshop with Artists in Residence who work in a variety of media. I agree with your review wholeheartedly, viewing this documentary was an opportunity to listen in on thoughtful, engrossing conversations about ways of being, and ways of thinking, - process, not product. The stories in this series are just wonderful. I just caught it this evening on tv in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, completely out of the blue and was utterly absorbed.

Last, I was not aware of the series but will definitely look for it. I think we all love to 'listen in' on what others are doing and absorb little bits here and there. Sometimes it is with complete awe when the process or result is so different than any I have ever seen. Other times it is with a warm sense of the familiar and it is good to know someone else sees, thinks, or creates in a similar way. Can't wait to see the series. Thanks for the review First, I also have to thank ‘eagle eyes’ – I noticed the links didn’t work but thought it was how the feed works. :-)
