<DIV>Greetings, </DIV> <DIV>The SCA predominately tends to focus on historical craft recreation/reproduction, but I oft find that our interest in historical arts and crafts are somewhat concurrent with the more modern crafts movements.... </DIV> <DIV><BR>As such, you may find the following PBS documentary to be of interest and the art exhibit that will be touring the USA (see museum listings and dates on website). Houston Contemporary Crafts Center, near the Museum of Fine Arts on Main street, will be showing this Craft exhibit next February, 2008.</DIV> <DIV>Cheers, Hillary / Ansteorra</DIV> <DIV>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</DIV> <DIV>SPECIAL PROGRAM<BR>CRAFT IN AMERICA: Memory, Landscape, Community<BR>PBS Channel 8<BR>Wednesday, May 30<BR>7:00pm - 10:00pm<BR><BR>We hope you'll tune in to PBS Channel 8 on Wednesday, May 30, to see<BR>this documentary on the Craft Center's upcoming exhibition and to
