ABOUT THIS EPISODE

We are living in a material world, but not in the way that Madonna meant, when she released her infamous single “Material Girl” in 1985. We’re talking about sewing, quilting, weaving, and pottery; the world of arts and crafts that is taking the art world by storm. Ever heard of a kitchen made of 30 million beads, or a carpet made up of thousands of bottle caps? We’ll tell you all about these works, and how the traditionally female world of arts and crafts is actually becoming the hottest up-and-coming space in the contemporary art world.
