Changes

I’m not sure if anybody still reads this but if you do, you’ll notice that a few changes have been made. In a bid to simplify and focus more on what I am interested in, I’ll be writing more about craftsmanship, materials, people and their processes. In fact, much of it will be very similar to before, just presented in a slightly different way.

It turned out that Futurustic wasn’t a very good name. Almost everybody read and heard it incorrectly as Futuristic, causing a lot of confusion in emails, social media tags and general conversation. As anyone who knows me will testify, I’m really not very futuristic, so it seemed strange and I got tired of trying to explain a silly name.

I hope that Modern Craft Workshop is a clear and simple title that tells you something about the site’s content. From now on, if you go to futurusticblog.com you will automatically be redirected to moderncraftworkshop.com or you can go directly to the new domain. My Instagram and Pinterest etc. will all be switching over in the next couple of days too.

So, if you are still reading, thank you! I hope you enjoy the new direction… Over the coming months I’ll be profiling some exceptionally skilled craftspeople, celebrating materials, techniques and good design. I aim to post once a week on a Thursday, because a little bit of routine (but not too much) is good for everyone. I hope you’ll enjoy what you see.
