About Us



      The American Craft Directory, Geometric Designs, and East Coast Artisan are joining forces to support American craftsmen and artisans. If you would like to be considered for inclusion on any of these pages, please email eastcoastartisan@aol.com.

      Lee Skalkos and Judy Standerford have both been working in the crafts field for since the early 1980's. They both felt that it was important to keep the resources of the Craft Digest available. Both artists are passionate about supporting the American craftsmen and the arts. They will be taking over publication of the Craft Digest under a new name, the East Coast Artisan beginning in January, 2006. Please visit the web site www.eastcoastartisan.com to subscribe.

      Judy is a weaver and makes rugs and home accessories from recycled denim, wool, and any other interesting materials that she turns up on her trips to thrift shops and fabric discount outlets.
