This past year we introduced a new column, Redefine, wherein we asked artists to define one term involved in their process. Through this definition we were able to learn more about the artists and their creations, thereby increasing awareness and appreciation of the handmade lifestyle. It is an honor to share the Redefine artists of 2011.
