While I’m personally rarely a fan of t-shirts with text on them, I was a sucker for these two craft related ones. The first I got from the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery as a part of a fundraising project they put on a few years ago.
They still have them listed on their site and they’re only $15 and the proceeds go towards ongoing educational programs. I wore this shirt at the Portland NCECA conference and had heaps of people asking where to get one. Even had someone offer me $50 for it. Should have sold and bought a new one!
This “Craft to Live, Live to Craft” shirt is by Toronto Printmaker Daryl Vocat. You can check out his artwork here or find the t-shirt on his propaganda site here. At only $20 a pop (13 for the shirt and 7 for postage) It’s hard to pass up.
