Nora Atkinson, writing from the Museum of Craft & Design in San Francisco:

There’s something powerful in working with your hands, in the rhythm of making, in shaping the world through touch and attention. Craft has long offered a feeling of agency to those pushed to the margins, a feeling of continuity to those in chaos, a feeling of accomplishment to those who dedicate their attention. It reminds us that we’re still capable of creating something beautiful—even when things feel uncertain or broken.
