About the Film
GOOD WORK: MASTERS OF THE BUILDING ARTS celebrates American craftsmanship and the unsung artisans (stone carvers, stained glass artisans, metalsmiths, plasterers, stone masons, decorative painters, and adobe workers) who create and preserve America's iconic buildings.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmakers Marjorie Hunt and Paul Wagner and co-produced with the Smithsonian Institution Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, GOOD WORK documents the men and women working behind the scenes to bring enduring beauty to the built environment. Working in stone, metal, clay, or in plaster, paint, and glass, craftspeople in the building trades transform designs on paper into three-dimensional works of art through their deep understanding of raw materials and technique. With creativity and pride, they enrich our nation through the work of their hands and their dedication to excellence.
