American Craft Magazine

by Lauren McC.

I would highly recommend American Craft Magazine to anyone who is interested in crafts, is very involved in crafts, or who simply enjoys reading about interesting crafts.

The magazine is very versatile; it provides something for everyone, even non-crafters. It has interesting, well-written articles, great pictures, is well organized, and has great ideas.

The magazine always has crafts for the specific month, especially around holidays. Some of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter crafts I have found in this magazine have been my favorite.

The majority of the magazine is written towards intermediate crafters who know what they are doing but aren't necessarily experts. However, the magazine does provide crafts for beginners as well. It also has articles about interesting crafts such as cultural projects and photography that any non-crafter would enjoy reading.

Sometimes the magazine could be a little more detailed with directions when explaining crafts. I would consider myself a semi-skilled crafter and I had some difficulty following some of the directions given in the magazine. Also, this magazine is very exclusive; you can only find it at certain craft stores, certainly not at a book store or convenience store. However, overall a great magazine for anyone interested in reading about or learning crafts.
