Published twice a year by the Crafts Council, Crafts is a magazine celebrating makers and making, from craft heritage to its contemporary future.
What grabbed us about this issue...
Modern-day thatching is not an obvious editorial choice. Crafts makes a convincing case for why it should be. The 40-page food and craft spotlight gives the issue real weight. It’s a pairing that reveals more the longer you sit with it. A new sustainable weaving centre in India rounds things out with a broader geographical perspective than craft magazines tend to offer.
Who’s Crafts for?
Crafts is one for when you want to understand how something is made rather than simply what it looks like. Each issue brings together makers at different stages of their practice, from established names to emerging voices. You can tell the Crafts Council’s investment in the field runs deeper than editorial interest. This would suit you if you’re drawn to process as much as finished work. Think of it as a platform for the people behind the objects rather than the objects themselves. It’s one to reach for when you want to feel genuinely close to the making of things.
