A Quarter-Millennium Of America, Shaped By Hand

Published as the official companion to Craft in America’s 2026 initiative marking the nation’s 250th anniversary, Handwork: Handcrafted Objects that Made America offers a rich exploration of American history through over two centuries of material culture. Edited by Emily Zaiden with a foreword by Carol Sauvion, the volume spans four thematic categories—DWELL, FEED, FURNISH, and ADORN—to trace stories of innovation, diversity, and resistance. By highlighting both historical artifacts and contemporary makers alongside underrepresented voices, the book presents a vibrant, inclusive portrait of how everyday handcrafted objects continue to define the American spirit.
