Our Values

At C&T Publishing, we believe creativity thrives in an inclusive and supportive environment. We are dedicated to being a socially and environmentally responsible company—actively reviewing our products, partnerships, and messaging to drive positive change in our industry and communities.

We seek to inspire, amplify, and celebrate the artistry of makers from all backgrounds. Our goal is to publish beautiful and useful books and products that reflect the diversity of the crafting world. We are always on the lookout for new voices, products, and programs that enrich our community.
