Question: “Do you draw the line somewhere?”

Garth: “Recently one of the things I put up was a Scottish brewer that’s making beer that’s 70% alcohol, and decided to bottle this beer in a taxidermy squirrel” “I was all about that” “I certainly would never make fun of anything like the Penn State tragedy”

Question: “Have you ever met John Waters?”

Garth: “I have never met John Waters.” “He’s an intense collector of erotic craft that was toe-curling and beautiful”

Question: “When and how did you know that you are an extreme crafter.  That you have a passion for extreme craft”

Garth: “When I was an undergrad with these sort of stick in the mud professors and I really liked to do these things to kind of make them mad” “I used to throw these really awful pots” “I kind of have dumb hands, but I love making them do stuff” “I think it’s the idea that Craft which is tradition and history can also be subversion.  I think that when I started out I had certain ideas about subversion and craft and I felt pretty transgressive, but my mission as a grown-up is to promote diversity” “If stuff like this coming out of art school were to choke out traditional craft that would be a great tragedy”
