The Impact of the Internet

The designer SharonG sent me this link to a lecture on how the Internet has impacted hand made items in the arts and crafts world.  It touches on copyright theft, but really it's about how we are losing creativity through endless sources of information and access to informed critiques that will help us do better in our chosen art.

It is almost forty-five minutes long but it is worth the time.  It has given me much to think about as the writer of stitch guides and the pusher of many Like buttons!  So pour your favorite beverage, ignore the phone and listen....

Thanks very much, SharonG!
