The Henry Ford Virtual Verbal Description Program - Handmade: The Crafting
of America Exhibit

 

Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026

 

Time: 2-4 pm EST

 

Curator of Decorative Arts Charles Sable will take us on a virtual tour of
the Handmade: The Crafting of America exhibit, now open at The Henry Ford.
He will highlight major works and their stories in each of the four sections
of the exhibit: Folk Art and Craft, the Shakers, the Arts and Crafts
Movement, and Modern Craft in the 20th and 21st centuries. From practical
beginnings to bold, modern expressions, this exhibit traces the evolution of
craft and celebrates human creativity. Each artifact-some shown publicly for
the first time-reveals a narrative of resilience, resourcefulness, and
entrepreneurial spirit. Explore why we make, how we innovate, and who we
create for.

 

This experience will be conducted remotely in verbal description and
conversation. The program will be held via Zoom and will be accessible by
web link and call-in phone number, depending on your preference. 

 

This program is free. Reservations are required and space is limited. Please
email  <mailto:accessibility at thehenryford.org>
accessibility at thehenryford.org or call 313-982-6168 to register and with any
questions.

 

Thank you!
