Frequently Asked Questions (and answers) about CRAFT

What is CRAFT?

CRAFT is the first project-based magazine dedicated to the renaissance that is 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.

CRAFT is the sister publication of and created by the same team of renegade thinkers who created MAKE.

We also offer an email newsletter, complete with updates about features under development, announcements of new volumes, and interesting tidbits from the CRAFT:Blog.
