Lia is a featured artist in the “Crossroads” episode, premiering on PBS starting November 16, 2012 (*check local listings). Lia Cook has been at the forefront of the intersection of craft and art, where she has recently melded techniques of 18th c. Jacquard weaving with an inquiry into brain functioning, thus combining the most basic manual technology with contemporary technology and scientific practice. Her unusual mix of old and new has garnered her international recognition. For more information on Craft in America, visit www.craftinamerica.org.
