It is not itself an art or a craft. But it is certainly where a lot of each has been created.
I’m speaking of the Wisconsin Union Craftshop, and this week marks its 75th anniversary.
….When it opened, the craft shop was the first of its kind for a university in the country, according to Wisconsin Union publicity. What is unquestionable is that countless photographs, silkscreen prints, pieces of wood furniture and metal sculpture have come out of this shop, which also taught classes and mini-courses in how to create art and craft.
