American Craft Council " Why I Make" Blog Series
Deadline: (UNSPECIFIED)
Why I Make
Blog Series
American Craft Council
Minneapolis, MN
"Why I Make," a blog series of the American Craft Council, feature dispatches exploring the human impulse to create.
Excerpts:
"Especially rewarding for me was the moment when I finished a piece - a crescendo I never knew in my day-to-day professional life. At the office, my world was nothing but to-do lists and complicated, open-ended projects; a sense of completion was rare indeed. But in jewelry class, it was crystal-clear when I had finished a project, and I reveled in that closure. Not only did wearing my silver pieces to work remind me, in the midst of a trying day, of my ability to accomplish something, but also the creative process was grounding - and so much cheaper than therapy!" - See more at: http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-ring-saved-me#sthash.DdgR1NVs.dpuf
"...with my fine linen book cloth, handmade paper from Thailand (with gold flakes), hammers and mallets, mandrels and pixie dust. And I am making things. Making something every day. Making something of every day. Sometimes making things up. Just to see what else is out there." - See more at: http://craftcouncil.org/post/why-i-make-shape-life#sthash.QQnrSZpO.dpuf

HUNGER
Online Exhibition
crafthaus.com
January 15 - February 15, 2014
With diet as a way of life for many in our culture, we’ve been taught that one should Eat to Live. We've forgotten that from the 18th through the early 20th century, being fat was a sign of health, prosperity, and an attraction at a time when food was scarce and many went hungry. Hunger, in all its metaphorical forms, is part of our personal and public conversation. Many of us struggle with HUNGER, and yearn for the pleasure of food, love, possessions, control, sex or POWER.
If your work deals with HUNGER, choose five of your best shots. Twenty-four works will be selected for an on-line crafthaus.com exhibition curated by Alice Simpson; to broaden the conversation to include other artists’ voices and visions on the subject of HUNGER.
Work in ALL MEDIA is encouraged. Twenty-four selected work will be highlighted for one month on-line at crafthaus.com, and then become part of Past Online Exhibits.
Curator’s selections will be made based on the relationship of the work to the theme of HUNGER.

Contributor Guidelines
We try to encourage emerging and existing designers to be true to their own design ideas and styles. If you have original, fresh designs we can help you launch your business. We receive a tremendous amount of feedback from our contributors. After appearing in our publications, they suddenly find their whole year booked with workshops, work orders and sales of existing items. We are proud that we can help designers achieve this, and we want to expand this service to a whole range of textile-related enterprises.
We are seeking contributions and technique articles in the areas of: dye processes; fabric manipulation; hand embellishing; machine embellishing; prints; graphic designs; knit; crochet; felt, as well as ideas and inspirational stories, plus coverage of Australian events (gallery exhibitions, displays, parades etc). The easiest way for a designer or author to "start the process" is to send an initial email outlining their proposal, and include their home landline number so that we can talk to them about their ideas, and also possibly source the materials required (although we usually only do this for past contributors that submit their articles before deadline, and respond in a timely manner to questions or technical issues with their work).
The Contributor Guidelines are available for download. By submitting an article, garment or technique to us you are agreeing to the terms in the Guidelines.

Rug Hooking readers are passionate about rug hooking, and they value informative articles about the craft and the people involved in the field. They also enjoy the high quality projects that they find in our magazine.
If you are not familiar with RHM and the types of articles we publish, we suggest that you read a few issues to get a sense of the magazine. We ask that any article you submit has not appeared in any other publication. If it has, please let us know where and when it appeared in print.
Submissions
Feature articles: We invite you to submit articles for features. Please send us the complete manuscript with accompanying photographs, diagrams, or other supporting materials.

Materials list

Departments: RHM has several regular departments, focusing on techniques, projects, and people. Review back issues to decide which department might best accommodate your article, and pay attention to how the article is structured. We invite submissions of project plans for step-by-step and how-to articles. These projects should display expertise in techniques and design, and be of high quality so that other hookers will be enticed to complete them for themselves or for gifts.
General information:
Issues are planned six to twelve months in advance.
Be sure to mark all materials with your name and complete mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
We will acknowledge receipt of your materials, though we may not be able to determine right away if we can use it. Please be patient. Unsolicited articles are used on an as-needed basis, dependent on many factors, including space in each issue.

Category Definitions
Note: Some rugs may not fall neatly into one category. Use your judgement to select the category that best represents your rug.
- Primitive: If your rug is a primitive rug, you may enter it in this category INSTEAD of one of the other three categories. Primitive suggests simplicity in all areas: design, materials, and technique. It usually means wider cut, naive or simple design with little or no shading, exaggerated scale or unrealistic proportion. Think folk art. In a pictorial rug, think Grandma Moses.
- Commercial: If you purchased the pattern, enter the rug in the commercial category, Even if you adapted the pattern, if the rug is substantially based on a commercial pattern and design, it is a commercial rug.
- Adaptation: If your rug is inspired by someone else's design in a different medium (for example, a painting, a postcard, a photograph, etc.) it is an adaptation. Be sure to credit the original inspiration and provide written documentation that you have permission to adapt someone else's work in this way. If you submit online, e-mail documentation to cderr@stackpolebooks.com.
- Original: If your rug is based on your original content and design idea, it is an original design. Carefully consider who owns the copyright; if you hook a design based on a photograph that YOU took, the rug is your original design. If you hook a rug based on a photo that someone else took, that other person owns the copyright, and you should classify your rug as an adaptation.
