North Carolina craft is as rich and varied as the state’s striking landscapes. From Cherokee carvers and famed western folk schools, to rural and urban guilds and galleries in the Piedmont, to coastal decoy makers who celebrate a vibrant maritime heritage, North Carolina craft shines. Traditional forms like pottery and fiber arts stand proudly beside groundbreaking contemporary work in glass, metal, and wood.

Each of the forty-seven (47) cards in this set features a color photograph of an object—glass, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, furniture—that tells a story of the times, places, and artists. Brief essays provide context and perspective, touching on the rich history of craft and its reflection of broader cultural themes.

North Carolina craft artists create with their heads, hands, and hearts. You can take a piece of North Carolina home with you, whether you are crafting the perfect vacation, living room, or office.
