Tim McCreight: Marks of a Maker

Description

What does it mean to be a maker? And, what if your brand of making breaks barriers, then what kind of mark does that leave? This publication, Tim McCreight: Marks of a Maker serves as an in-depth exploration and record of several areas within the field of craft on which McCreight has left a unique and indelible mark. This book will investigate McCreight’s influence on educating and publishing to the pioneering of new materials, being a working Maine artist, as well as co-founding a global humanitarian initiative. For McCreight, an unpretentious man of modest beginnings, all of those contributions would be impressive on their own, what is notable is the fact that his quiet yet expansive reach has transformed disciplines and inspired and altered the lives of makers the world over.

It’s no secret that Maine is a cradle of creative ingenuity and Tim McCreight is a living embodiment of that heritage. And, now more than ever, in this time of short attention spans and manufactured intelligence, we need a true model that can inspire and guide us in the making of a creative life well made, and McCreight is just that individual. Tim McCreight: Marks of a Maker is for students, artists of a variety of disciplines, educators, collectors, philanthropists and entrepreneurs as well as for those who are curious about exceptional people disguised as ordinary folks. My hope is that this book will serve as inspiration for you to consider what it means to leave a mark.
