Welcome to the Craft in America website, a place to explore and learn as you follow your interest in the handmade. We at Craft in America are dedicated to presenting the vitality and significance of the craft movement in the United States and its defining role in our nation’s rich cultural heritage.

Made of clay, glass, wood, metal, fiber and a myriad of new and alternative materials, craft objects, like the ones you will find on this site, represent both traditions and innovations in technology, social function and personal expression. Those who choose to participate in craft today are linked by skill, instinct and passion. We believe that handmade objects in our culture both unite and define us as Americans.

At craftinamerica.org, you can see episodes and shorts, learn techniques, visit object exhibitions and learn about artists. We invite you to discover and enjoy the excitement of the handmade and we thank you for your interest in Craft in America.
