American Craft Council is taking the Bay Area's handmade culture online

The craft we encounter in communities across America makes those places unique. That’s something worth celebrating, and that’s what San Francisco Bay Area Craft Week is all about.

We won’t be able to show up in San Francisco in person this year for our annual American Craft Show, so we’re bringing the Bay Area’s vibrant handmade culture straight to you. Join us online September 7 – 13 to experience the innovative work happening in this area, get to know both local and national artists, buy their work, and explore the important ways craft can impact our lives. Craft Week is free and open to all.

The Marketplace

During Craft Week, you can find 100+ artists from across the country and the Bay Area who are working to bring craft into our lives, affirming its importance, and building awareness and connection to the process of making. Our marketplace opens on Thursday and runs for four consecutive days. Here, you can shop handmade product lines and original, one-of-a-kind, artisan-made goods.

Artist Playlists

Jump onto the Craft Week site and tune into what makers are listening to when they are in their studios. Turn it on. Turn it up. Shop and jam. Six playlists from six marketplace artists to compliment your Craft Week experience.
