Tomorrow, four of Canada’s leading craft thinkers and practitioners will discuss pressing issues in craft. The evening includes presentations by ceramic artist Paul Mathieu, Jeweler/metal artist Kye Yeon Son, and furniture designer/maker Michael Fortune. Each artist represents a different medium and a different perspective on the future of craft. Together, the speakers will debate and discuss the histories of craft in a moderated discussion by Charles Lewton-Brain.
