Summer 2024

American Craft‘s Summer 2024 issue is focused on the theme savor.

Savor. Craft can help us slow down and create a life filled with more gratitude and connectedness. Simply spending time appreciating the materials, labor, and creative vision that go into making handcrafted objects can usher in a sense of wonder. We hope this issue, and the work featured within, will inspire you to find new ways to savor the world around you, the season of summer, and the elements of your daily life.
