A bit over a year ago I wrote about how artists were becoming better educated in the legal issues affecting their art projects (Why is Copyright (Suddenly) a Hot Topic for Artists?). It now seems like craftspeople are also getting in on the fun. The Seattle Times ran a story last Friday, Crafters Urged to Get Educated on Copyrights, exactly on this topic.
We wonder how much of this has to do with the recent craft-painting fiasco between origami artists and painter Sarah Morris. Welcome to the party, crafters.
