All Things Metal Clay
An Expert Guide to Making & Selling Jewelry

I love those days when big ideas intersect. This morning I read Garth Clark’s article, “How Envy Killed the Crafts,” which makes a case for crafts merging/joining forces with Design.

Then this evening, I came across this article in Wired:

And if you agree with what Garth Clark is saying, then the new changes at Etsy make a lot of sense. Changes such as allowing designers to sell on etsy when their actual production is done not by their own hand.

Do read it and pop back for a lively conversation in the comments, won’t you?

What’s your take on all this? Which side are you on?

Do you agree with Etsy changes or no?
