Allied Craftsmen Today at the Mingei The Allied Craftsmen of San Diego have been  around in one form or other since  the 1940s.  This exhibition is sort of an  update to the Mingei's 2011  San Diego's Craft Revolution, which was curated by Dave Hampton.  Beginning with  work by a group of artists who were also in Craft Revolution, the exhibit also includes contemporary members of  The Allied Craftsmen. All the work has been created within the last two years.   Joe Nyiri Erik Gronborg Ron Carlson   Kathy Miller  Soil and clay over rebar,  Jennifer Anderson   Josh Herman Managerie , from the Mingei's permanent collection The bird on the right is a Shoji Hamada water dropper Nakashima
