"In the Making: Craft, Community & Art Education in the Valley of the Sun" presents individual and collaborative textile works by artists and educators directly connected to the ASU Art Education program. The exhibition asks how teaching and artmaking inform one another, and how shared craft practices and values can deepen both.
Developed over the course of a year through sewing circles and writing workshops, the project frames craft as a mode of research, pedagogy and knowledge-making. It aims to recognize, amplify and strengthen intergenerational exchange among ASU art education students, faculty, new teachers and mentor teachers, creating a place and platform to acknowledge the depth and value of the creative work taking place in K-12 art classrooms across the greater Valley.
