Michael Ball

Michael Ball has worked for craft&design Magazine since 1999 as a writer and since 2003 as website developer. He has previously worked as a wood carver, silver jewellery maker and craft project designer.

Michael runs Beyond the North Wind website design based in East Sussex, specialising in websites for artists and makers.

"Craft&design have had a website since 1998. A number of skilled designers have worked on it, and over the years it has grown exponentially - it now includes directories of galleries and guilds, downloadable pdf's, an online gallery - craft&design Selected - and more. The current site has been produced almost entirely by Paul and myself, and between us we've put a lot of work into planning, designing and developing it. Like most websites, it is a constant work in progress - we're always looking for new web facilities that will be useful for craft&design readers."
