Handwork Co-op is an artist collective located in downtown Ithaca, New York. The co-op first began in 1976 with just 12 craftspeople. Working together, this group opened a retail shop to sell their wares. Through the years, the co-op has since expanded its membership, has been featured in USA Today, and is widely known to feature the most beautiful, skillfully crafted wares in the Finger Lakes region.
Handwork is owned, operated and staffed by its artist members. Each time you visit the store in person, you’ll have the opportunity to meet an artist working at the front desk! Our co-op is composed of over 30 member artisans creating a range of work that includes pottery, sculpture, woodworking, glass, jewelry, fiber, wearable art, leather, dried florals, paper goods, fine art and photography. The cooperative also carries a selection of high-quality crafts and art from makers around New York and across the country.
