Each piece is one-of-a-kind or limited edition in a range of prices, all designed and crafted in artists' studios across America. At the Washington Craft Show, you'll find 190 of the nation's top craft artists offering work in a dozen media, each unique and many one-of-a-kind. Each piece represents an inspiring facet of the American spirit—and an enduring treasure, transmitted from the artist's hands to yours. Artists from 30 states and the District of Columbia will be on hand, eager to share with visitors their latest celebrated works. One of the most compelling aspects of this show is the opportunity visitors have to actually meet the artist who created the work on display. No gallery owners, no agents; just the artists and their art.
