The Fuller Craft Museum is a remarkable small museum with large ideas. They are incredibly good at seeking out young, boundary-bending artists and succeed in showcasing some ferociously-gifted and skilled artists who push "craft" to very high levels of artistic success. We saw a metalsmith, a textile artist, and a surprising clothing designer and sculpturer who used buttons primarily as his medium.
