The Ohio Craft Museum

Opened in 1993, the Ohio Craft Museum engages and enriches the community through high-quality exhibitions and education programs. Free exhibitions showcase superb examples of fine craft, including works in clay, fiber, metal, wood and glass, by artists from across the country and around the world. Gift shops sell beautiful jewelry, wheel-thrown ceramics, blown glass, leather bags, wooden bowls and cutting boards, and much more, by over 125 artists.

The museum offers educational programming for all ages and skill levels. Artists and curators present lectures and demonstrations during exhibitions; professional artists and art educators teach classes and workshops for adults and teens. Topics have included Pysanky egg design, basketmaking, felted wool projects and polymer clay ornaments. Summer camps for children and teens help foster a life-long interest in fine craft. Workshops for professional artists are offered throughout the year.

The museum provides free exhibition tours to community groups, such as schools, senior centers and organizations serving adults with developmental disabilities.
