Craft Lab highlights the beautiful variety and skills of the expanding field of American craft!
Discover how interactive elements—a hands-on loom and a digital woodworking engagement—can expand your perspective of crafted art. These interactives highlight the act of making, an especially important theme as we increase the presence of craft across our galleries.
By including works in wood, ceramics, glass, and fiber alongside paintings, drawings, and other media, Craft Lab tells a more textured and dynamic story of creativity in the United States.
Free, no tickets required.
Discover the art of woodworking inspired by the practices of artists David Esterly, Michael Peterson, Ursula von Rydingsvard, and Bob Stocksdale whose works are featured in the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art collection.
As you play, you’ll learn about each artist’s unique process and style—whether it’s Esterly’s intricate limewood carvings, Peterson’s organic forms, von Rydingsvard’s monumental sculptures, or Stocksdale’s exquisite turned platters.
