The February/March issue of American Craft is available now. Our cover story is a 10-page feature on Supernatural star Misha Collins' creativity – as seen in his Hollywood Hills home and his bustling life. Plus, we've tapped a group of successful artists to share tons of advice on the business of being an artist. Also in the issue: New York cake virtuoso Margaret Braun's work in porcelain and Micah Evans' wild glass pipes.
Articles will become available online throughout February and March. To read the articles sooner than they're available online, you can purchase a single copy of the issue or become a member and enjoy a subscription to American Craft magazine as part of your ACC membership.
