Tools of the Trades: Handmade American Implements & Devices

Tools of the Trades: American Handmade Implements & Devices is the first exhibition of its kind to highlight beautifully designed, hand-crafted tools made by contemporary toolmakers and artists in the United States. It celebrates the ingenuity born of necessity and the special narratives in the hand-crafted.

The objects pertain to a wide scope of crafts: ceramics, textiles, hot glass, wood working, and metal, including the niche fields within them, such as blacksmithing or spinning.
