Majacraft Magic 2014 Video

I have put together a video of highlights from the Majacraft Magic camp for this year. If you attended it may remind you of the great time that was experienced by all. If you weren’t there, see what you were missing!   Andrew

Majacraft Magic camp 2014

  The Majacraft camp is over for another year… I am currently going through that low funk that happens in life after a special experience. And unsurprisingly, the camp was another high point. The tutors were marvellous and people learned stuff and had a lot […]

The Overdrives are coming

It has been a bit of a mammoth effort to push the new Overdrive Heads into production but things are progressing well and nearly ready for shipping out to you. Here are the first ones in the final stages of building. Just so you know we are not eating donuts and drinking coffee!

Announcing the Overdrive Head

Come see the big new Majacraft product!

Next week its happening! Finally!

After much work over the last year and a bunch of teases through the blog, I am ready to show you the next big thing we have been working on.

And it what I think is a first in our little corner of the craft world, the plan is to do it live over the internet where you can watch and take part too.

Woolwench (Suzy Brown) has been a major collaborator in the creation of this so we are going to run the live stream through the Fibery Goodness web site. The stream link is shown on the flyer down below.

I am really excited about what we have created and I think it is going to change the way people can work in the area it relates to (sorry I am still trying to be vague until the big day). The point is we can’t wait to share it with you!

See you there on the Internet!
