Hello there! Welcome to my little corner on Substack! Here, I share bits of inspiration, ideas, how-tos, and the occasional musing on projects I’m working on or creative thoughts that pop up along the way. Whether you're looking for DIY tips, a spark of creativity, or a place to explore new ideas, I hope you find something that resonates with you. Thanks for stopping by; it means a lot to have you here!

Corrie Beth Makes: Curiosity in Craft is run by me, Corrie Beth Hogg (pronounced Hoag, like a hoagie sandwich). I'm a lifelong maker, always exploring new corners of art and craft. My interests are wide-ranging, and I follow my curiosity wherever it leads. I’m drawn to well-made things, old and new, for the lessons they hold, the beauty they offer, and the courage they help me gather. My creations are rooted in the art of making things by hand: paper plants, papier-mâché, all sorts of paper crafting, the occasional sewing project, and whatever else captures my imagination.

I studied painting in college, worked for a design firm for two decades, and wrote a book called Handmade Houseplants. These days, I work independently, teaching, crafting, writing, and sharing ideas. I live in Brooklyn with my lovely partner Ryan, also an artist. While we don’t have any pets, we do have plenty of houseplants (some real, some made of paper) and a collection of well-loved guitars.
