Craft schools across the U.S. offer an educational opportunity like no other. Here, you’ll find internationally-renowned instructors, intensive and focused study, and time for exploration.

It’s all part of an experience that is thought-provoking, inspiring, and sometimes life-changing.

The Experience

"To really understand the craft school experience, you have to visit one of
these places. The feeling you get when you are there is like no other."

David Ellsworth, Woodturner

"Craft school was a real eye opening experience for me, one that really helped to cement the idea
that community within the craft field is vital to anyone’s growth. I was also very shy and this
helped me to overcome some of my fears of being around new people and places.
I always come away from that experience with a sense of awe in terms of how students and
faculty can learn from each other in such a short period."


Wendy Maruyama, Wood Artist
