In the beginning

there was STUFF:

mud . . . and trees . . . and animal fur . . .

and rocks . . . and metals

– all gifts from the earth.

And from that stuff we made vessels, tools, implements, shelter, clothing.

We also felt the need to make these things beautiful.

This exhibition,

CRAFT - The Real Stuff, 

is proof that we're still making visually compelling objects from those ancient and fundamental materials.
