Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House, 1889-1935, an exhibition, catalog, and workshop series, celebrates the work of immigrant artists and reformers at the country's most important social settlement. The exhibition showcases Hull-House’s rarely exhibited textile collection, drawn from a wide array of immigrant traditions. Also highlighted are handbound books from Ellen Gates Starr’s bookbindery, newly restored paintings by Alice Kellogg Tyler, and a new selection of ceramics from the historic Hull-House Kilns. The exhibition is accompanied by a unique clothbound exhibition catalog, designed by Hour Studio, and a special edition created in collaboration with The Weaving Mill.
