The December/January issue of American Craft is available now. Our cover story is about New Mexico ceramist Cannupa Hanska Luger, who uses clay as a tool for exposing misconceptions. You'll also learn about woodworker Ellie Richards' lively sculpture and furniture, the International Museum of Dinnerware Design, the craft scene in Copenhagen, Denmark, and more.
Articles will become available online throughout December and January. To read the articles sooner than they're available online, become a member and enjoy a subscription to American Craft magazine as part of your ACC membership.
