The Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute For Studies in Canadian Art at Concordia University (Montreal) have released a comprehensive three-volume publication on contemporary work in ceramics, fibres, and glass entitled: Craft and Craftivism: A Biographical Dictionary of Contemporary Ceramic, Fibre and Glass Artists in Canada, edited by Loren Lerner, Janice Anderson, Shannon Stride and Karine Antaki.

This publication features professional biographies of nearly 350 artists, with an emphasis on the artists’ works in relation to materials, techniques, processes, creative inspiration, and artistic vision. Also featured are artists who blend craft with activism, using their works to convey social and political commentary, challenge the status quo, and advocate for change.

Ace’s fibre based works are included in Volume Two: Fibres

Craft and Craftivism is now available as a free three volume e-publication download:
