Makeshift – Craft, Design & Make
Makeshift casts an expansive net, encompassing design, making and craft. The breadth of the net includes the social and fabricating, the disappearing world of crafts tradition and the future of virtual and embodied maker experience.
Middleground – features on all sorts of interesting subjects in the middle of the magazine. Middleground pieces are short, sharp (and sometimes longer) mini-features found in the middle of the magazine.
Materialise is a new strand to Makeshift focused on materials, materiality and the cultures of making.
