History

American Craft is one of the longest running publications celebrating the modern makers who shape the world around us. Started by the Handcraft Cooperative League of America, whose primary mandate was to develop markets in metropolitan areas for rural craftsmen, the first issue of a magazine, as yet untitled, was published in 1941. The League became the American Craftmen’s Cooperative Council in 1942 and that same year published the first issue of the newly named Craft Horizons with 3,500 copies printed and distributed “as an educational service.” In 1960, Craft Horizons was incorporated into the American Craft Council and in 1979 changed its name to American Craft. For more information on the history of American Craft Council, please visit the Council website.

Since its founding, the American Craft Council has made a difference in the lives of artists, students, craft enthusiasts and the field nationwide. Other Council programs through which the Council supports the field include annual retail and wholesale shows, and a specialized library on contemporary craft, workshops, symposiums, conferences and other educational offerings. Throughout generations American Craft Council initiatives have played a critical role in the development of craft.

Today, the Council is the leading voice in America for all craft media, celebrating the remarkable achievement of the many gifted artists working in the media of clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood and other materials.

We hope you will be inspired to visit our website often, join the Council as a member and support the Council’s significant educational programming with a tax deductible donation.
