From stitchwork and knitting to letterpress and repair sessions, there is something for all in Slow Craft Week. In connection with Handwork 2026, Slow Craft Week is part of a year-long national initiative by Craft in America to showcase the importance of the handmade, both throughout our history and in contemporary life.

Kick off Slow Craft Week in a gathering with fellow handwork enthusiasts and Alaska Public Media to watch a new episode of “Craft in America,” INSPIRATION, which reveals the magic and influence of craft. This will be followed by a curated selection of Indie Alaska short documentaries highlighting Alaskan makers and ideas. 

Join in conversation with fellow creatives in a celebration of craft and Alaskan makers. Come early to chat with Slow Craft Week partners and collaborators and connect with the ideas and people producing the week’s offerings. Free.
