The first exhibition of its kind to highlight beautifully designed, hand-crafted tools made by contemporary toolmakers in the United States. It will also be the first in a series of exhibitions for Handwork 2026, a nationwide semiquincentennial collaboration showcasing the importance of the handmade and celebrating the diversity of craft that defines America. This is a chance to see the kinds of age-old devices that in some cases have not fundamentally changed for centuries, yet are interpreted anew by current makers. Even in this age of technology and mass production, there is a thriving community of craftspeople who labor in their workshops to produce small batches of tools to be bought and used by other makers and connoisseurs.
