Chapter 9: 1970-1979 Organizations and Professionals

Chapter 9 Learning Objectives

After studying this chapter, students should be able to:

  • Chronicle the rise of the first generation of professional craft artists, and the additional skills they gained in order to market and sell their works
  • Outline the continued rise and plateau of craft education in the university system
  • Explain why ceramics was more accepted among scholarly circles by the 1970s than other media
  • Identify key figures that either pushed craft media into new directions or clung to traditional processes and forms, and how they together transformed contemporary craft
  • Describe the rising consciousness toward historical influences among mainstream craft artists
  • Describe the impact of government funding and support of craft in legitimizing the field
  • Explain why conceptual work in clay was successful alongside the functional clay movements, how pluralist and even postmodern philosophies influenced ceramics
  • Describe the diverse trajectories of progress and change within metals/jewelry
  • Explain how traditional techniques and historical examples in fiber inspired both innovative processes and work
  • Discuss the obstacles that studio glassblowers overcame in the 1970s, and the impact of their efforts on the field.
  • Describe the spectrum of woodworking education, from the hobbyist and professional, and from small scale woodturning to furniture. Explain the impact of the field’s growth on how woodworkers expressed their ideas as well as their designs in wood.
