Meet the artists who’ve dedicated years of their lives to studying some of the timeless traditions of art and craftsmanship. From the ancient art of Japanese kimono making to hand stone carving to saddle making, these artists found their passion in traditions that have been passed down through generations.
In this week’s Art Discovery, hear from Gedion Nyanhongo, Karen O’Hanlon, and Lisa and Loren Skyhorse about how they developed their craft, the tools they use, and how they challenge themselves to think outside the box of tradition.
This is a fascinating discussion about some of the traditions that are slowly disappearing and how these artists are striving to keep them alive. Watch the full Art Discovery below to see how they’re doing it.
