Peters Valley is a destination for exploring making and inspiration of fine craft in the beautiful woods of Northern New Jersey

In today’s fast-paced and artificial world, engaging with craft helps people center their hearts, heads, and hands for a deeply human experience. We’ve been creating a space for that for more than 50 years.

We are a vibrant and diverse community of artists and appreciators from across the globe. Together, we learn in specialized craft studio workshops from expert instructors with programs for all experience levels. Our gallery & shop exhibits curated work from groundbreaking craftspeople and offers one-of-a-kind art and gifts that support working artists and bring the experience home. And our year-round programming centers craft from vast cultural experiences that keeps people connected in-person and online.

Peters Valley School of Craft is a nonprofit dedicated to the best that craft has to offer everyone. Learning, creating, and appreciating craft in community - and in the fresh air and space of nature - often brings new insights and magical moments of transformation. We believe in the power of craft to reconnect people to themselves and others through that inspired creativity even beyond our haven. When more people have a first-hand craft school experience, they can make their own lives - and the lives of others - more enriched and more meaningful.

This is where we make it. Come experience craft with us!
