Craft History Course: Black Craft In the United States

Handwork, Soulwork: Black Craft in the United States offers a social history of quiltmaking, pottery, basketmaking, and blacksmithing.

Each week, we will explore a different practice, the craftspeople working within that practice, their work, and the material conditions in which they created their work.

We will cover renowned craftspeople with an exhibition and publication history, we will focus on the people whose provenance records and museum interpretive labels identify them as “unknown.”
