IMHO, the BEST shop on the Commons, and indeed, all of Ithaca! An absolutely fascinating collection of handmade and handcrafted objects by artisans from all across North America. Two floors of treasures - woodwork, glasswork, ceramics and pottery, jewelry, sculpture, etc., etc. I live in Brooklyn, but travel to Ithaca and the gorgeous Finger Lakes District once a year, and American Crafts (Robbie Dein is the owner) is always the first and last stop when I arrive. I've made numerous purchases over the years, but I literally could spend hours here, my eyes agog at the brilliant artistry on display. Go - you won't be disappointed.

The real treasure trove on the Ithaca Commons. Not a large shop, but not small, either (two levels), and chock full of dazzling American craftmanship. The glasswork especially entranced me, but so did just about everything. Endless home decor items, all of them unique. And the staff is always polite, friendly, and ready to answer questions. And they don't pounce on you or hover nearby as you peruse the store - unlike a lot of the other shops on the Commons. The best store on the Commons, as well as one of Ithaca's best. Well worth a visit.

The shop is wonderful – – a collection from talented artists that includes house, decor, jewelry, artwork, gifts, etc. all of the highest quality and a great variety a beautiful things

There are always wonderful surprises in store here!! This time we found an amazing glass sculpture by Warner Whitfield and Beatriz Kelemen. We viewed his other offerings online at the store and ultimately bought Dancing on the Water's Edge, Blue Lagoon. The manager was so very helpful in contacting the artists and helping with the transaction. And we got a discount on shipping and a gift card as a thank you!

American Crafts by Robbie Dein is our favorite shop in Ithaca. Their selection of American made art and crafts is truly outstanding. We always find something we love, and other artists we put on our short list. This time it was glass sculpture by Warner Whitfield and Beatriz Kelemen. They have quirky, fun items (like a clock that does not tell normal time, and mugs with a hidden animal surprise in the bottom. There are items from every category -- jewelry, fiber, glass, ceramics, and more in every price category.
