OUR VALUES
a foundation in
​
American Craftsmanship
Historic Roots
Craft & Forge emerges from Colonial Williamsburg,
home to some of the best craftspeople in the world.
Weavers, blacksmiths, bookbinders, and cabinetmakers aren't actors; they're skilled makers and apprentices. The connection to this historic institution enhances the distinctive approach to product design and brings authenticity and integrity to our brand.
Social Impact
At the heart of Craft & Forge is a desire to support emerging and established talent and to help build a new appreciation of craft in the 21st century. All sales of products support the preservation, research, and educational programs of
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
A Modern Interpretation of
Early American Styles
Products and materials embrace
pared-down shapes and clean
lines. Inspired by classic 18th-century design and craft. Materials are well-considered and built for longevity.
