[Nfb-krafters-korner] Name of division?

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

David;
What do you think about the NFB Crafter's Devision?  This would include
all crafts and if painters and sculpters want to be included, thair art
could also be a craft.
Let us know what you think.  Give us some ideas.  
I, myself would prefer to leave art out.  If they can not count their
hobby as a craft, why should they be in the group.  Craft includes many,
many things.  Think of it this way, just because a person can draw, does
that mean we are going to add designers to our title.  We need a title
to cover everyone.

I agree with Mike.  I also want to raise another point.

You are talking about krafters and artists.  Artists are very different
from crafts.  Are there artists here, that is painters, sculptors etc.
That is very different from people who quilt, sew, knit, scrap book etc.
I am not making a value judgment, just do you really mean to include
artists -- and are arts people going to want to set up their own
division.
