How to make folk art interesting....

At this week's meeting of the Junior Curators, Lancy presented a couple of objects from her home:







We discussed whether the mirror and the cup could be labelled folk art. The cup didn't pass the test because it was mass-produced in Europe. The mirror however was handmade, probably by someone who wasn't trained....could it be folk art?

Then we started brainstorming ideas for the online exhibit. We worked on the introduction part of the exhibit....but we can't show you anything yet. Check the blog next Thursday for more information!
