Our craft timeline continues to grow. We've recently added eight new entries and a handful of new images.

The opening of The Egg and The Eye gallery in Los Angeles was added to 1965. This gallery (and omelet restaurant) was the first, and for many years the only, west coast gallery devoted to craft. It later morphed into the Craft and Folk Art Museum.

We rolled out our first batch of timeline updates this week and also added a search feature to the timeline, so you can find your favorite events more quickly. There's a search box on the timeline home page, and links to the search at the bottom of each timeline. Of course, searching is not without its own troubles. Make sure to report any errors or glitches to timeline@craftcouncil.org. We want to make this timeline the best resource we can.

In all honesty, I must admit that I had selfish reasons for supporting the creation of the 70-Year craft timeline. Here in the ACC library, we receive countless research requests for information pertaining to the history of craft. Don't get me wrong - I live for the thrill of digging up that one golden nugget of information, quote, or photograph that can help connect the dots of a thesis, exhibition, or the like.

It's been a fun week around the office, seeing everyone's timeline highlights and hearing the reactions as people have received their copies of the magazine. I'll forgo a repeat pick of the launching of This Old House (possibly my favorite TV show growing up), but otherwise, here are my favorite entries in the 70-year craft timeline:

Even More Great Moments In Craft

I don't want to overstate this, but the 70-Year craft timeline has been a huge part of my life for the past four months. Now that the magazine is out, and the interactive timeline is up and running, it's hard for me to fathom life post-timeline. Picking my favorites was a tough task, because I've had all of these years and events ingrained in my very being. But here are my highlights:

More Great Moments in Craft

Choosing favorites hasn't ever been my strong suit (just ask anyone who's ever had to go clothes shopping, or, heaven forbid, to the grocery story with slow, methodical me). But choosing favorites out of our massive, 70-year craft timeline presents a special challenge – there are so many great entries! I'm soothing myself with the thought that, as this week unfolds, other American Craft staff members will be sharing their favorite entires too. And some of the great moments in craft that I passed by, well, they could still get their due.

My Favorite Craft Moments

Over the next few days, American Craft staff will share highlights of the 70-year craft timeline we recently completed. My favorite craft moments from the past 70 years involve the public becoming aware of the creative process. I agree with the sociologist Richard Sennett, who says everyone is a craftsperson. But many people have vocations that don't necessarily feel creative. When those people become aware of artists, they may become more aware of their own potential to create.
