Craft Hangout

How did a couple of actors go from traveling on the national tour of Fiddler on the Roof to crafting in front of the camera as Crafty Lumberjacks? It's a very unique journey that Dennis Setteducati and Andrew Boza generously shared with the Craft Hangout gang. Besides being incredibly talented and creative, they are also extremely personable and super nice. The Crafty Lumberjacks have been able to grow their DIY careers in an authentic way, and whether they are in front of the camera for their own content or someone else's (yes, you've definitely seen them on various TV shows), they always remain true to themselves.

The hottest craft happening right now is punch needle. How did such an oldie time craft become so hot and trendy? The gang at Craft Hangout thinks it is due to one person-- Amy Oxford! Amy is a fiber artist who has built her business by supporting community over competition and even invented a punch needle that the craft world is going nuts over. Amy is thoughtful about her surroundings and is excited about the growing popularity of her craft. What made her decide to invent a new tool? Why did she make a school to teach others how to do what she does? And will she answer Eliza's mom's question about unraveling yarn? Listen in to find out!

The Craft Hangout gang is fascinated by traditional sign painting, and we got the most incredible sign painter to hang with us, in person-- Mike Meyer!

He gained international recognition after appearing in the critically acclaimed movie, Sign Painters. Mike still has a business of painting signs but now has his own line of brushes and continues to keep the art form alive by teaching a new generation of artists the traditional craft of painting signs... and he makes new friends along the way.
