Style Spotlight: Craft Series Continues on PBS
- Joyce J. Scott, known as the “Queen of Beadwork,”will be featured in the PBS documentary series, “Craft in America.”
Exploring themes of personal and political expression, the award-winning documentary “Craft in America” returns to PBS this summer. “Craft is once again proving its relevance as people return to the handmade,” says executive producer Carol Sauvion.
Debuting nationally on May 24, the next installment of the television series features four craft artists who use their work to tell a story, comment on issues or make a point.
The subjects of the newest episode—glass artist Beth Lipman, santero Charles Carrillo, mixed-media artist Joyce J. Scott, and Thomas Mann, a jeweler and metalsmith—each use their work to communicate a message about America’s history and current affairs.
The television debut will be accompanied by screenings, museum exhibitions, and expanded web material at www.craftinamerica.org
