Talk:American craft

message: I would like to propose that the last three sections of this article under the history section be constructively revised.
My peeve is that the figures mentioned in those sections are not the only notable craft figures of the relevant period. I propose that either or both 1: a new section is added to this article listing notable figures in the development of American Craft as  a whole in which brief biographies and/or perhaps links are provided and 2: the notable figures and the discussion encircling their careers are relocated to the relevant field page; glassblowing, ceramics etc. 
I think it is important to maintain field neutrality in this article. Mentioning one figure as important to a decade or period without mentioning others presents a significant bias.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.212.109 (talk) 01:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose to merge studio craft with American craft and change the name to American studio craft. I believe these two articles are speaking on the same subject using different names. In my research I have not discovered mention of the term "studio craft" outside of early influences, therefore it should not have a page separate from American Craft. As the article studio craft is relatively small and containes much repeat information, I do not believe the merge will create too large an article. Terasaface (talk) 01:52, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 Editing in Japan here. As briefly mentioned in the American Craft article, Shoji Hamada, Bernard Leech and others in the mingei movement have claims to studio craft and with new technologies like laser cutters, studio-size NC machines, 3D printers etc I think we might see further global studio craft inventions.. If merging, I think studio craft as the title, and America as one major territory under that heading would make more sense. Louise000 (talk) 10:10, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

text:  Thank you for your input!! One of the reasons I haven't proceeded with a merge is the consideration of Mingei as "studio craft" and likely other cultures I am unaware of that have the same views. I think the best way forward would be to keep the pages separate and put efforts towards expanding the page studio craft to be more globally inclusive. Thanks so much! Arigato gozaimasu!

text:  Welcome! I think your solution works, it can be revisited later as these pages continue to evolve. If I have time (..!) I will take another look at the studio craft article. Louise000 (talk) 07:09, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
