We Tell Makers' Stories
This is not another how-to or hobbyist craft magazine; this is the quarterly publication for real craft enthusiasts. It is an adventure into the workshops, studios, and front rooms of the world's most incredible makers, each sharing their journey, their why, and passion with you. Learn about the incredible world of makers, craftspeople, and artists who uphold craft traditions, skills, and magic.
Edition Nineteen
We Are Makers is an independent print magazine documenting the lives and work of craftspeople, artists and makers around the world. Every issue is built through time spent in workshops and studios, gathering stories through in-depth conversations, observation and documentary photography. This is not a how-to magazine, but an insight into the people behind the work and the lives they have built through making.
Edition 19 takes readers to workshops across mainland Orkney, Scotland, the Beskid Mountains of Poland, Maine, USA, and an adventure to find craft in Latvia. Publishers Kate and Jack meet furniture makers, jewellers, broom makers, blacksmiths, lace makers, ceramicists, and more. Across 160 pages, each story offers a rare look inside working studios, creative businesses and the lives behind craft, celebrating both long-standing craft traditions and contemporary makers.
This edition continues MAKE IT, a 16-page section of practical advice and lessons from makers who’ve done the hard yards and are eager to share their findings with other creatives.
