Craft is a realm of influences – practices passed down, reimagined, and revitalized – on scales both local and global. Small towns in Mexico are known for their work in black clay, Scandinavia is synonymous with a distinct design aesthetic, the Indian subcontinent draws from an ever-evolving tapestry of craft heritage, and it’s all cross-pollinated by patterns of migration. For our international issue, we looked beyond our borders to a small sampling of the panoply from other countries: textiles in India, ceramics in Korea, glass in Australia, furniture in Sweden, and metalsmithing in Mexico. The artists profiled don’t necessarily embody these traditions to the letter – they are far too complex and multi-layered – but they offer a glimpse into the remarkable breadth of the craft world. ~The Editors
