[TheForge] Pointless complaining

[Bob Evarts]

Why is it that, when calling fine art galleries to make appointments to
show my work, if I say I am a blacksmith that does sculpture, I can't
even get an appointment most of the time.  If, however, I say I am a
sculptor who works in steel, I'm welcomed with open arms and told how
hard it is to find sculptors who work in metal these days.  I don't
really expect an answer, it just fries me that "blacksmithing" is still
considered a craft rather than an artform, yet if I change what I call
myself, then it's well recieved.  Just isn't right.
