I’m the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it’s a art that can be functional.
Yes this is true but when you have the mindset that you are an artist but people are telling you nothing but a crafts person it can be kind of demoralizing. Especially if you’re a woman. Because of course men can be great artists but women are not considered anything but crafts people. Just look at fiber arts and the way people are treated there

I imagine the same argument is made with the glass blowing community. It’s incredible what those create.
Same thing with woodworking!
