Makers: A History of American Studio Craft is a project of the Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, with support from the Windgate Charitable Foundation.


Makers: A History of American Studio Craft, by Janet Koplos and Bruce Metcalf, addresses a conspicuous oversight in art history. No comprehensive survey on twentieth century craft history exists, and the Koplos/Metcalf volume will help introduce undergraduates and graduate students, in both humanities and art curricula, to the vast depth of the subject. The authors provide a chronological framework with explorations into general thematic trends and specific sorts of media histories within each decade, looking synchronically and diachronically at issues such as education, publications, exhibition venues, and marketing in a rich stew that links the Smith-Hughes Act and the GI Bill, The Studio with Craft Horizons, the international exhibitions of the turn of the previous century with contemporary museum exhibitions.
