Craft: transforming traditional crafts

About CRAFT

CRAFT is dedicated to the renaissance that's occurring within the world of crafts. Celebrating the DIY spirit, CRAFT's goal is to unite, inspire, inform, and entertain a growing community of highly imaginative and resourceful people who are transforming traditional art and crafts with unconventional, unexpected, and even renegade techniques, materials, and tools; people who undertake amazing crafting projects in their homes and communities.

Launched in 2005, CRAFT magazine gained a loyal and influential print readership as the first project-based magazine dedicated to today's craft renaissance. With the growing success of the popular CRAFT: Blog, CRAFT was transformed in 2009 into an online magazine reaching 1 million readers each month. CRAFT is also a thriving community -- with CRAFT forums and dedicated Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr groups -- that shares projects online and meets in real life at Maker Faire, the world's largest DIY festival.

CRAFT is the sister publication of (and created by the same team of renegade thinkers who created) MAKE Magazine. Coined "The Martha Stewart for Geeks" by Newsweek's Stephen Levy, MAKE is one of the most highly regarded and well published success stories in the consumer magazine space over the past year.
