    For its September/October 2020 issue, Crafts magazine has been refreshed and re-energised for a new era. To mark its transformation, it is celebrating those it calls ‘change makers’: the artists, designers, thinkers and organisations using craft skills and processes to make a positive impact, whether socially, ecologically or politically.

    Discover the people cleaning up ceramics

    In this issue, we meet designer Fernando Laposse at his radical design experiment in rural Mexico, the makers who have reshaped their practices in lockdown, the innovators turning ceramics green and the people campaigning for museums to return objects acquired during colonisation. At a time of global upheaval, these stories show how the act of making can bring us together.


    Artist Alia Ali's extraordinary textile portraits

    Elsewhere, Chicago-based textile artist Aram Han Sifuentes explores making as a form of resistance, and our new columnist Gus Casely-Hayford discusses the threads that bind us. At a time of global upheaval, these stories show how the act of making can bring us together.
