Hello 2026 and Happy 21st to CRAFTCAST!
January 5, 2026 | Read
As we step into 2026, we’re also celebrating a milestone that still feels a little unreal: 21 years of craftcast.com.
What began as a simple idea, to connect makers through learning and creativity, has grown into a worldwide community of artists, teachers, and curious hands who love to make things with heart. Over the years, we’ve shared techniques, tools, experiments, happy accidents, and more than a few “aha!” moments together.
From polymer clay to metal clay, texture tools to mixed media, CRAFTCAST has always been about more than projects. It’s about connection, learning from each other, cheering each other on, and creating across time zones, cultures, and skill levels.
To every artist who’s taught a class, every student who’s taken a leap and tried something new, and everyone who’s been part of this journey: thank you. You’ve shaped CRAFTCAST into what it is today.
Here’s to 2026, to 21 years of creativity, and to many more moments of inspiration made together, all around the world.
Let’s keep creating.
I’ve been here about 10 years and have gotten loads of help from the classes I’ve purchased. If only I had the money to get all I want! Ever going to do something with lasers or the Curio2? I loved my original Curio and got lots of good stuff from here about it but I can’t use the new one to save my life. Been lasering for nearly a decade now and still discovering new things. I was hoping to combine the Curio2 and my laser, but that hasn’t worked out. Recently made a wedding ring for my DIL that she thinks is gorgeous using Pam East’s tips on tiny molds. Hope you keep going!
Thank you, Kirsten, for being part of the CRAFTCAST tribe all these years! Here’s to another great year of creating~
