C&T is a place where everyone is welcome. We seek to inspire creativity and amplify compelling stories, techniques, and artistry from makers of all backgrounds.  We aspire to publish useful and beautiful books and products that celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of our crafting community. We are always on the lookout for new products and programs that better reflect the unique and diverse voices of the crafting community. 

We live our values: 

  • Through our imagery we will better reflect our crafting community in terms of diversity including race, gender, size, sexual orientation, age and physical abilities among others
  • Using our platform to support and amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized and excluded from the conversation 
  • Making a consistent stand in support of diversity, equality and inclusivity
  • Nurturing new creatives to help them get a foothold in the creative industry
