In 1977, The Peoples Republic of China had just opened up to visitors from the United States. I was part of a small delegation of artists and craftspeople with a focus on artisans and craft production in major cities in the eastern part of China: Beijing, Tsinan, Suchow, Nanking and Kwangchow. It was an interesting time, a quiet sort of interim, as China, though still looking inward, was moving away from the strict methodology of its revolutionary communist past and had not yet begin the rapid economic growth so characteristic today.
