Craft magazine with attitude
The premiere issue of a new off-the-wall craft magazine is on sale now in the US, and by subscription elsewhere. There's also a digital edition.
Traditional crafting practices and techniques are still the foundation for what we're doing, yet we're also incorporating technology, creative recycling, innovative materials and processes. There's a fun sense of irony, irreverence and attitude in our mission. Carla Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief
CRAFT is the first project-based magazine dedicated to the renaissance happening within the world of crafts. Our premiere issue features 23 projects with a twist! Embroider your skateboard, light up your clothing, felt an iPod cocoon, knit your own boots, stitch a robot, and more!
Textile crafts are well represented in the table of contents, with needlepoint bangles, a crochet robot, silk screening, 'New Wave Embroidery' and 'Geek Girl takes on Fashion' among the many articles on offer.
CRAFT: transforming traditional crafts
Looks like a lot of fun - anyone who's seen it - what do you think of the first issue?
