During its nearly 40 years in print, Craft Horizons documented the craft movement as it happened. "The Good Making of Good Things: Craft Horizons Magazine 1941-1979" pairs works by makers featured in the magazine with articles, reviews, and letters from readers to illustrate the essential role it played in the development of craft and its cultural connections. 

In a pre-internet era, Craft Horizons was the field’s tutorial guide, its social network, and its image-sharing database. It gave the artist, enthusiast, scholar, or casual hobbyist access to all that occurred in craft.
