Permanent Collection

Craft in America’s permanent collection features objects, many of which were created by artists whose stories were captured in the series. Each of these artists push materials to new heights and also expand tradition into new realms. Craft in America is proud to have created a family of artists that continue to engage communities and to inspire through their mastery.
