A travel magazine about what’s still made by hand

CRAFT STORIES

ABOUT CRAFT

CRAFT is a travel magazine about what's still made by hand, and curated by human experience, knowledge and judgement.

Hi, I’m Ren, the editor of CRAFT.

I’m building this magazine because one of the best ways to experience a new place is through its people. Have a conversation with a chef, a farmer, a craftsperson, and you’ll be introduced to a side of the country you could never find on your own.

Travel is an investment in adventure and personal expansion. It’s an opportunity to grow, learn and connect with people and I feel most fulfilled when I walk away from the experience knowing that my life collided with someone else’s. A person on the other side of the world I would never have known and can now call a friend.

If this resonates with you, thank you for being here this early. Whether you are a partner, a writer, or a reader who travels this way, I’d love to hear from you.

Ren Lewis, Founding Editor

THE PEOPLE BEHIND A PLACE

CRAFT follows the people who shape the character of a place through what they make, know, preserve and reveal.

We learn from farmers, chefs, craftspeople, curators, guides, artisans and hoteliers, people whose knowledge, skill and values reveal something distinctive about where they live.

Sometimes that knowledge becomes something made by hand. Sometimes it becomes a way of working, a way of noticing, or an experience that gives travellers a deeper insight into a destination.
