Find Local Craft: Tourism

Handmade in America has always promoted community tourism as an opportunity to build the region's economy. We have developed guidebooks promoting the roads less traveled, set up tours on farms, in studios and small towns, and advocated for initiatives that focus on bonding visitors with craft, people, and place.
