But isn't that true in every aspect of craft? I recently have
taken some bookbinding classes, one with a person geared towards it as a
craft, who's taken a few classes here and there and the other who worked as
a trade binder for over 20 years, is certified in London as a bookbinder
and treats it as an art. The difference is vast to my mind.
Indeed, it is. What I was trying to express (and perhaps I failed) is that
the quality of THEIR art will have a tremendous impact on yours. More than
you might imagine.
