| From the Peabody Award-winning PBS series "Craft in America", comes a collection of more than 50 stunning objects created by the hands of some of the nation's most skilled and visionary artisans. These pieces, each crafted from distinct materials, represent the rich narrative of craft in our culture. In addition, each work is a testament to the concepts of artistry, imagination and expression. Visually arresting and thought-provoking, the Craft In America Exhibit is certain to captivate, and perhaps it will even inspire you to tell your own story through the tradition of craft. |
