Latest issue

Crafts magazine’s latest issue is a celebration of individuality and reinvention. We meet the materials experts bringing a sense of tactility to the digital realm, go behind the scenes at east London’s raucous drag scene and enter the high-tech parallel universe of New York-based artist Saya Woolfalk.

Plus, we launch a new series venturing inside the homes of collectors to see how people live with craft (in this case, everything from ceramics to ukuleles and Inuit sculptures), and meet the makers reshaping Berlin.
