During its nearly 40 years in print, Craft Horizons documented the craft movement as it happened . . . In this pre-Internet era, Craft Horizons was the field’s tutorial guide, its social network and image-sharing database. It gave artists, enthusiasts, scholars, and casual hobbyists a bird’s eye view on all that was occurring in craft. By the 1970s, Craft Horizons had grown in the field’s leading voice. In 1979, its publisher, the American Craft Council, rebranded the magazine as American Craft, which is still in print today.

From the very beginning Craft Horizons magazine aimed to create a network and a conversation. In its very first issue, the magazine featured an essay titled “What is a Craftsman?” by Richard F. Bach of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Above the article the museum’s editors included a prompt that challenged readers to think critically about Bach’s definition: “How many of our readers agree with him? How many disagree? Won’t you write us your definition for our next issue? … Progress comes from an interchange of ideas, intellectual disagreement and frank discussion. We count on hearing from you.” Over the four decades that followed the magazine’s editors, contributors, and readers continued this conversation, interrogating craft’s relationship with technology and contemporary art, evaluating the merits of crafts education, and forging a new identity for the modern craftsperson.
