Imagine a craft festival that extends across 50 states, or a national open house inviting the public inside hundreds of art studios, craft galleries, museums and stores.
American Craft Week October 1 - 10, 2010 aims for an impact of that scale with hundreds of artisans, retailers and institutions uniting in a national celebration of all things handmade.
As a teacher, what a great way to introduce the impact of Craft to your students. Consider creating a community craft event or take your students to some local galleries and studio workshops.
