Question for Glenn Adamson

     My question for Glenn Adamson was about a quote from the reading "When Craft Gets Sloppy."  The line "this permissiveness has deeply penetrated art-school culture, blurring the line between hobbyism and professional endeavor" interested me.  I wanted to question Glenn Adamson what defines this line in the first place and therefore how are people "blurring" it.  Does being a professional just mean having a corporate sponsor, selling your work for a lot of money or being in a museum?  And what if someone sculpts for a hobby and then sells his or her work is that considered a professional transaction?  I just wanted to question him to see if his definition was targeting the craftsmanship of the piece or the money aspect of it.
