If that's the case, then then it's not the media, but the man (woman) that makes it art or craft. Tom Hey Tom,

I’ve heard it said that,

A laborer works with his hands,
and craftsman works with his hands and his head,
but an artist works with his hands, his head, and his heart.

If that’s the case, then then it’s not the media, but the man (woman) that makes it art or craft.

Tom

Nakashima can create that beautiful table, but i can practise (ahem, and practise and practise and practise!) until my craft is skillful enough to reproduce his work. a craft is something you practise; art is something you create. i think woodwork falls into both categories because it is a reproduceable art form.

I believe woodworking is a craft BUT when performed by a skilled craftsman the results can be art. Ican name many highly skilled woodworkers who turn out nothing but artistic pieces. Tom,
