Its Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning [1] PBS television documentary series Craft in America journeys to a wide range of artist studios, institutions and community groups across the nation. The show first aired in 2007 [2] and has produced 13 episodes thus far exploring themes such as "Memory," [3] "Process," [4] and, most recently, "Service".[5]

Additional projects include the Craft in America Study Center which offers artists’ talks, access to an extensive library and archive of video footage,[6] a touring exhibition, and an illustrated book.[7]
