Books

Through a series of insightful and often humorous interviews, designer, TV host and writer Vickie Howell gets to the bottom of how 30 influential designers and 60 every-day extraordinary people are taking part in creating and living the new, American Dream. Craft Corps is more than celebrating craft; it is about creating your life through the shift in career possibilities, making a living doing what you truly love, and celebrating individual creativity in a fast-paced, electronic world. It is an ever-growing community of people that flourishes online, both locally and globally. Craft Corps is a book, a blog, a community, a movement. Click here to watch the book trailer!
