Are you a baron of basketry? A wizard of woodcraft? Maybe even a master of macramé? Whatever your hobby, show it off in the Create Crafts Challenge 2020 where five of Create TV’s talented personalities will judge who will win the chance to produce their own 10-part video series for Create TV!
It’s metal workers vs. knitters, glass blowers against the basket weavers! Turn your love of crafting into a video series!
This year, the Create team changed the challenge event to encompass another of Create TV’s most popular genres: Crafts! The Create Crafts Challenge 2020 received nearly 100 entries from markets representing about 50 local public television stations across the country.
