Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House, 1889–1935 is an exhibition, catalog, and workshop series that celebrates the work of immigrant artists and reformers at the country's most important social settlement. The catalog 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 first of its kind in the museum’s history, the catalog provides a deep and lively engagement with the history of arts education at Hull-House.

Contributors include Museum educators and curators Katie Akerboom, Ross Stanton Jordan, Nadia Maragha, Matthew Randle-Bent, and Liesl Olson; artist Faheem Majeed; and scholars Fiona Maxwell and Annie V.F. Storr.
