Handwork

Handwork, Ithaca’s Cooperative Craft Store, was started in 1976 by 12 local craftspeople. Working together they could afford the cost and time of opening a retail shop to sell their work. Handwork now has approximately 40 member artisans doing a range of work that includes pottery, woodworking, glass, jewelry, fiber arts, wearable arts, leather, paper and art.

A true cooperative, Handwork is owned and staffed by it members. Handwork also carries a selection of work from other craftspeople from across the country. Handwork members meet monthly to share information, decision making and jury new member-applicants.
