The secret (if there was any 😂) to paint-by-numbers would be patience.That color by color, a complete image builds itself—with your hand in complete confidence that a fully-formed image will appear—eventually.That assurance taken care of, it’s all up to your endurance and momentum to finish. I never thought paint-by-numbers could hold such insight, and I’m tempted to stretch that thought to the love and patience of Mothers, but I’ll stop right there. 😅Instead—that’s actually a photo of my Mom! The actual paint-by-numbers image is still a work-in-progress. But I just wanted to share her beautiful photo. ♥️Happy Mother’s Day to the Mothers, and to the mother-figures who fill our lives with love.PS: We made about 40 of these custom paint-by-numbers kits in the images of the participants’ moms! ♥️ ...

On Labor Day, we celebrate the work of our hands (among other things, as we also celebrate the work of everyone around us who makes life a lot easier)! ✨Here’s sharing one of the things that have been keeping us busy these past couple of weeks—we’ve prepared literally over a thousand of these kits for an upcoming online event highlighting local festivity, history, and creativity.Props and a big thank you to the team—we made it! Another set to go. 😂Another big thank you also to @pioneeradhesivesph, for their handy glue pack, ensuring the kits are lightweight, and compact—quite essential for this batch. Their glue actually smells pretty nice too (it’s true, but it feels a bit strange saying that out loud). 😅We hope you all have a wonderful weekend! ... See MoreSee Less

And the @makersmarketph is back! ✨In the middle of last year, we had to hunker down, and really focus on having our own business survive. At the same time though, we saw so many others trying to do the same. Since our last Maker’s Market was in 2019, we figured we had to think of a way to promote handmade and local—and in the spirit of our initial efforts to mainstream all things #handmadenhomegrown, we found an amazing partner in @lazadaph!They invested in cultivating our shops (actually Craft is still working on ours, haha), and we’re very thankful for being able to present our work together in one page, but still with shops independently run by the makers themselves.The soft launch of the #makersmarketphxlazada is finally ready!Visit our always-on page at bit.ly/MakersMarketxLazada and add to cart all things handmade, homegrown and CRAFT-Y! Maker’s Market? #NasaLazadaYanFor other makers who are still interested to join, just send us a DM! We’re so happy this has finally happened, and we’d love to see our community grow even more online.The @makersmarketph began in 2013 with a nudge from our first workshop manager, Nikki. We’re thankful that 7 years later, we’re back. ♥️Support #handmadenhomegrown —shop local!#craftmnlat9 ... See MoreSee Less

We moved into our current home in Arnaiz in 2014. It was also around this time (or so) that the interest in type was amazing to witness!One of our first installations at the studio was by Bartek Janczak of Typoets! He installed a few hundred hand-cut letters with floating wire in the middle of our space! At that time, he and his wife Carissa sold type-themed shirts to raise funds for local schools. How amazing was that? ✨We also hosted a number of type-themed workshops then, with none other than @darkgravity showing us the wonder of Pilot parallel pens, among other things. 😮#goodtimes #craftmnlat9 #throwback ...
