formed archive at Contemporary Craft, revealing the treasures and stories that have shaped our organization since its inception. Join us as we introduce our
new host for Season 3, Sydney Leslie, Archives and Creative Projects Manager, who will guide us through the rich history and exciting future of Contemporary
Craft.

craft. Discover how Sydney has been meticulously organizing and preserving our extensive collection of exhibition catalogs, postcards, and other historical
materials, and learn about some of the most intriguing finds she has uncovered, including a quirky soft sculpture shoe bed by artist Michelle Clifton.
