Church of Craft

So what is the Church of Craft anyways?

It’s an organization that promotes this idea, that making things could be good for your soul. Trismegista Taylor and I started it together in the Fall of 2000.

Really, you started your own church?

Well yeah. You can, you know. We couldn’t find one we wanted to join so we decided to start our own. This is one of the freedoms most Americans take for granted, actually.

Okay, wait, so back up. How is this a church, I mean what do you do?

We have regular meetings and chapters and ministers just like other religious organizations. Most of the meetings are pretty free-form. Folks drop in with whatever project inspires them and we all hang out and make stuff in each other’s company. We all get pretty inspired! And we also have a really great community of makers who come - all kinds of people. Sometimes we have workshops or other special events. There are chapters all over the country and the world! Each chapter is basically independent and runs on its own steam. But we all hang out at the .org together.

Hm, this is all really interesting. Do you have a chapter in my town?

Maybe, and if not you can always start one. Check out the list of chapters and sign up for the email announcement list of the one nearest (or dearest) to you.
