Why Make? Episode 76: Haystack at 75 - An Experiment in Community and Education

Today we’re sharing a piece we are calling “Haystack at 75 - An Experiment in Community and Education” in celebration of the school's 75th year.&nbsp;A conversation with Haystack executive director Perry Price. We talk about the history of Haystack and the iconic campus that is perched on a cliff above the Atlantic Ocean. Why it still calls itself a school of craft and not art. How the craft school experience differs from an academic institution and finally how has Haystack approached teaching technology. So take a listen, breath in the salt air and hear the sound of the waves pounding the cliffs below Haystack.You can listen to it here and on Apple Podcasts and Spotify View fullsize Haystack campus in Deer Isle, Maine, aerial photo courtesy of OPAL Architecture / Research / View fullsize Students move their looms onto the deck outside the Fiber studio to enjoy the sunshine on the Haystack campus, 2023.
