As a new weaver with aspirations to become an art weaver, I find the experiences and perceptions of those currently dealing with these issues most valuable. <br />Is the lack of representation of textiles in the art community connected with the decreased availability of textile programs in our art schools, or did it begin before that? Many traditional art forms seem to be falling out of favor, if you will, within art education. . . as is the value of artisan skills within our culture. The necessity of art in the lives of human beings, as well as the necessity to keep all of these skills in our cultural conscience is all the more reason to fight for the answers. Thank you for your contribution.Bobbi McGowannoreply@blogger.com
