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 Eighteen
From the workshops of the world
We Are Makers is an independent print magazine documenting the lives and work of craftspeople, artists, and makers across the globe. Each issue is built over time through workshops and studios, gathering stories through in-depth conversations, observations, and beautiful photography. This is not a how-to magazine, but an insight into the lives of the people who make.
In edition 18, we explored Vancouver and Haida Gwaii, the island of Crete in Greece, and the southwest corner of North Carolina.
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.
We also want to thank our subscribers, who have helped us support two makers in the United Kingdom through the We Are Makers Grant - funded entirely by our subscribers - meet them inside.
