FROM THE EDITOR

Portrait of Ren Lewis

FROM THE EDITOR

Hi, I’m Ren, the editor of CRAFT.

The best moments of my travels have always come from a person letting me into their work. A tea farmer, a chocolatier, a chef. That is what I am building a magazine around, and it is why every story starts with a person rather than a place.

I want readers to arrive with care and respect rather than a checklist, and I want the maker at the other end to meet someone who already values the work.

Thank you for being here this early. Whether you are a partner, a writer, or a reader who travels this way, I would like to hear from you.
