JRACRAFT TRAVEL

upcoming trips, craft resources map, and more

After over a year of social distancing, JRACraft is excited to share upcoming craft focused trips and resource guides for independent travel.

Recently, we have partnered with Craft in America to feature the craft resources map, on the JRA website. This map features a list of schools, museums, craft organizations and and galleries arranged nationwide by location. 

Additionally, we have begun creating trip guides. These will be published for our future trips, but to get us started we have a few available for our favorite craft cities.

​Explore these newly announced trips and resources and stay tuned for the next issue of the Craft Quarterly magazine, dedicated to travel.
