Seems somehow fitting…
Well I’ve been procrastinating lately. I’ve been even downright avoiding my blog this week as I was stuck trying to figure out exactly what would or could be fitting for posting as my 500th post…and well as procrastination often does, it gets the best of you and now this morning as I finally sat down to write I found that 2 posts that I had postdated a while back had actually gone up and thus the 500th post went through without celebration. You know in someways that’s likely the best, I’m not much of a person for birthday parties or holiday celebrations. They can seem forced. And I guess in the end the 500th post might have been a forced attempt at something as well…but it should be noted that I’ve had a blast writing the blog over the last few years, and the main reason is because of everyone that reads it. I set out to write this blog as I was in need of a larger community of practitioners and like minded craft enthusiasts and that is precisely what I found. So thanks so much for reading, for sharing your amazing work with me, and for writing me such amazing emails. It’s been a pleasure to get to know you all. So I raise my glass (of tea…it’s early morning here) to the next 500 posts!
Cheers!

Making Futures Conference, United Kingdom
September 17 – 18
Conference: Making Futures, the crafts in the context of emerging global sustainability agendas Now open for registrations, ‘Making Futures’ will be held on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th September 2009 within the magnificently sited Mount Edgcumbe estate on the River Tamar opposite the city of Plymouth, Devon, UK. CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKER: PROFESSOR RICHARD SENNETT (USA) The aims of the ‘Making Futures’ research conference are to improve understanding of the ways in which the contemporary crafts are responding to ideas and agendas connected with global environmental and sustainability issues. Also, to try to discern whether these new imperatives present opportunities for the crafts to redefine and reconstitute themselves as less marginalised, more centrally productive forces in society.

Contest for Plate a Day Blog
Call for entry
Entry Deadline: July 31, 2009
In an attempt to chronicle the unique territory currently being examined by today’s avant-garde craft artists, LAL invites artists/ craftspeople to apply for an upcoming exhibition in the historic Loudoun House. Generously Odd: Craft Now will focus on contemporary craft objects that engagingly experiment with material, form and concept. While all craft media will be considered, the exhibition will place emphasis on works that explore abundant decoration, obsessive techniques, and peculiar narratives or concepts. Travis S. Townsend, artist, woodworker, and Lecturer of Art at Eastern Kentucky University, will curate the exhibition.
