Interweave Press

Since I joined Craft Gossip as the Felting Editor, one of the perks has been finding phenomenal sites and blog covering crafting and artists.  One of these sites is Interweave Press.  They offer books and magazines on beading, crochet, fiber art, jewelry, knitting, mixed media needlework, and quilting, spinning and weaving.   As you can see they cover almost any art or craft that you are interested in.  I subscripted to Fiber Arts and also bought one of the back issues covering wearable art, January 2007.  Fiber Art not only covers felting but also many other fiber arts and I must say have prompted me to try new fiber projects I have seen in this magazine.  The magazines are published on the highest quality paper and the pictures are professionally done offering you an upscale publication.   They also tell you about shops where you can purchase you crafting supplies for some crafts.  Also, they announce upcoming events that you can attend. In all the magazines and on the website Interweave Press shows and tells you about all the new books on the subjects that are of interest to you.  You can also see what types of articles are going to be in your next issue of the magazine you subscribe to. There is a section where they welcome submissions of article ideas and artwork for upcoming issues. Please check their guidelines and themes for details. I truly adore my Fiber Arts and can’t wait until I get the latest issues and hope to get into their knitting and crochet magazines soon.  All crafters in all areas check out the Interweave Press.Founded in 1975 by Linda Ligon, INTERWEAVE PRESS, a unit of Aspire Media, is one of the nation’s largest craft media companies with businesses in magazine and book publishing, interactive media, broadcast programming, and events for craft enthusiasts.   Linda Ligon remains with the company as creative director, a member of INTERWEAVE PRESS’S board, and as an investor in ASPIRE.The company is headquartered in Loveland, Colorado and has other offices in Malvern, Pennsylvania and Stow, Massachusetts.
