Pioneer Craft House

Salt Lake City, Utah

Art, Children's, Historic House, Library, Specialized

The Pioneer Craft House, named for a project commemorating the 1847 settlement of Salt Lake City, celebrated its 60th year at the old Scott School property at 500 E 3300 S. During that time, Craft House has been the home of a valuable international puppet collection, well-used weaving and pottery studios, silversmith and lapidary workshops, an art library, and a peaceful cultural haven for artists and craftspeople. Classes in both heritage and contemporary methods and materials gave students the opportunity to develop interests in fields as varied as tatting, woodcarving, sculpture, flute-making, and even microwave cooking and macrame!
