Winter 2025
American Craft’s Winter 2025 issue is focused on the theme interior.
Evocative of winter nesting practices, this issue contains stories about makers from across the nation whose work brings beauty and a human touch to the spaces we inhabit. You’ll be inspired by Los Angeles–based Adam Pogue, whose stunning patchwork textiles grace the cover of the issue; Susanna Cromwell, who lives in Maui and stitches paper quilts; and a powerful collaboration between Adelphi Paper Hangings in Sharon Springs, New York and Kansas City, Missouri–based interior designer Kelee Katillac.
You’ll also get an inside look at Baltimore’s vibrant craft community in our fourth installment of The Scene. Please join ACC in Charm City February 21–23, 2025 for the American Craft Made Baltimore marketplace, now in its 48th year, and take time to explore the city with this issue as your guide.
