Every discipline is formed, shaped, and re-formed by the texts that constitute its discourse. Craft history is still a nascent discipline, and the texts that describe its boundaries and centers are both significant and yet still hungry for better company.

Each week in this course, we will discuss a few key texts that have impacted craft history, and point towards what could come next.

The course requires active participation and will be shaped like a friendly, conversational book club.

Brick House Arts: Where Craft Meets Community

Nestled in the heart of Hancock, New Hampshire, Brick House Arts is more than just a studio—it’s a vibrant hub for tactile creativity and connection. Housed in a space that breathes history and inspiration, the center is anchored by the expertise of resident artists Erin Sweeney and Bob Petzold.

At Brick House, the philosophy is simple: handwork is a bridge to community. Whether you are a seasoned maker or picking up a tool for the first time, the atmosphere is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and deeply rooted in the joy of making.

Workshops & Offerings

The center specializes in a diverse range of traditional and contemporary disciplines, offering hands-on instruction in:

• Book Arts: Exploring structures, binding techniques, and the narrative power of the handmade book.
• Printmaking: From hand-set type to experimental pulls, capturing the magic of the democratic multiple.
• Fibers: Embroidery, hand and machine stitching, coiling and tactile exploration of textile traditions.
• Woodworking: Crafting functional beauty through a deep respect for raw materials and joinery.

The Heart of the House

The “pivotal” mission of Brick House Arts is community. It serves as a gathering place where the act of creating side-by-side fosters lasting relationships and a shared appreciation for the slow, intentional pace of the handmade life.

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

In the mission of this exhibition, we acknowledge our ninety-seven-year history of craft education, but choose to underscore this moment in time through the lens of artists-makers.
