irthdays mean new

beginnings, a

chance to reminisce

and, of course, to celebrate.

This year marks the 70th since

American Craft

magazine

began life as a simple,

unnamed newsletter - reason

enough to get out the party

hats and sparklers! But since

we have lots to celebrate -

including a lively and

enthusiastic new staff and a

fabulous, funky new home

in a historic Minneapolis

b re w e ry-w e ’ re going to call

20 11 our 70th rebirth day.

After all, the little spark of

an idea that became the

American Craft Council and

helped ignite the modern craft

movement glimmered for two

years before our formal

incorporation in 1943. So we

honor our past, rejoice in the

present and raise a glass to

our future for the next 70 years

and beyond.

Happy Rebirth Day

To get the festivities going,

we’ve invited local cake

designers to design a cake

(or cupcakes) inspired by one

of our amazing ACC artists’

handmade works of jewelry,

pottery, glass, fiber art, or

multi-media masterpieces.

Please enjoy these amazing

Craft-Inspired Cakes, which

will be on display in the

ACC booth for the duration of

the show.
