Published to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, this book showcases the Museum's burgeoning collection of contemporary American crafts. More than one hundred color plates illustrate many of the Museum's prime holdings in ceramics, wood, fiber, glass, metal, and furniture.

Entries on sixty-four featured artists, including Dale Chihuly, Wharton Esherick, Sheila Hicks, and Peter Voulkos, place their work in the context of the dynamic field of American crafts. Crafting a Legacy will be of interest to artists, collectors, and all who appreciate the beauty of finely crafted handmade objects.
