Tom McAlister

Tom is interested in how craft practices can foster deeper connections between people and their environment. Guided by this interest, his Bonderman Fellowship travels will be centered around experiencing a variety of global craft traditions, from textiles to ceramics and beyond. He anticipates traveling to Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Morocco, Algeria, Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, and Mongolia. Tom is excited to become a more globally engaged artist and individual. Although there is a lot that he hopes to see, he is most excited for the surprises that global travel is sure to bring.
