‘Craft in America’

When to watch: Friday at 9 p.m., on PBS (check local listings)

Making stuff is cool; not making stuff is boring. Weave a basket! Do some metalsmithing! Restore wooden cabinets! Make stained glass! Or just watch this thoughtful show about people who do. If there’s a part of you that fantasizes about chucking your computer in the ocean, buying a robust apron, developing unusually soulful hands and mastering your ancestral culture’s metallurgy methods … this show might put you over the edge.
