Dream
Dreaming is an essential element in the process of making, designing a life surrounded by the handmade, and getting a good night’s sleep. In this issue we reveal the dreams and visions of America’s makers, schools where those visions are nurtured, and the imaginations of designers and gallerists who help bring craft into our lives. We highlight the craft of the bedroom, from furniture to lamps to bedding. And—in this start to the 250th anniversary year of the formation of the United States—we investigate how craft has played a role in the evolution of the American dream.
Special coverage:
Education, Furniture, Quilts, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Adventure
Adventure asks us to depart from the comfortable, safe, or familiar—to take a chance on the unknown. In this issue we explore places to embark on craft adventures and handmade items made for travel. We highlight lively craft communities, daring artistic collaborations, and organizational partnerships yielding unexpected results. Throughout, we spotlight makers who push past the conventions of their chosen medium to discover something new.
Special coverage:
Travel, ceramics, glass
SUMMER 2026
Revolution
Revolution is circular motion. It’s also transformation, overthrow, and upheaval. This issue looks at cyclical techniques and patterns in craft that lead to metamorphosis. We feature craft created through spinning—like spun glass or ceramics thrown on a wheel—and handmade goods that twirl. We share stories of craft revolutionaries, from historic figures to contemporary makers reviving craft traditions. And, in “The Scene,” we visit the San Francisco Bay Area where we celebrate the revolutionary spirit of the artists and makers who live there.
Special coverage:
Museums, wood, metal, San Francisco Bay Area, California

Work
We work to fulfill our essential needs—and to make beautiful things. In this issue, we investigate intersections between craft and manufacturing, and illuminate trades that center the work of the human hand. We explore partnerships between craft and interior design, as well as handmade fashion. This issue also celebrates the winners of the 2026 American Craft Council Awards: artists, scholars, teachers, and advocates whose work moves the craft field forward.
Special coverage:
Interior Design, fashion, heritage manufacturing, ACC Awards
