More about us:
In this world of blogs, craft books and boutiques agog, we’re not
trying to show you what’s new and hip. This zine came about due to a
mutual frustration in regards to the current craft resurgence.
Why isn’t anyone writing about the importance of what we’re doing?
Why isn’t there a craft zine written by people who make stuff? And
most importantly, we wanted to see a real print and paper zine that
we would actually read. With strong .. as well as real-life
networks, we are entering a new era never before seen.
By combining the power of the internet with the power of personal
creativity, we are proving that things do not have to be
mass-produced, that we can be our own stylists, that there is
strength in mastering the sewing machine or the knitting needles or
the silkscreen.
We’re about not only recognizing the past legacy and the future
possibilities of craft, but about reminding you, the reader, that
you’re not alone. Some say that the bubble has already burst, that
craft has reached its apex and is destined to plummet. We say bring
it on.
