Community Guidelines – Maintain Safe Standards
Welcome to LWMF Crafts—a vibrant, wonder-filled corner of the creative world where craftspeople, thinkers, daydreamers, and doers gather in spirited exchange. Here, we believe in the brilliance of making, the uniqueness of every hand-touched idea, and the strength that blossoms through community. These guidelines are our compass—a quiet reminder of how we keep each other safe, kind, and full of inventive energy.
Founded by Zayric Xenvale and nestled in the heart of New York at 333 Clark Street, LWMF Crafts is where ideas take shape and imagination finds its tools. Whether you’re exploring the latest crafting techniques and trends, diving into artistic expression styles, revisiting artisan project spotlights, or sharing your own ingenuity, this space is meant to feel like home—a studio lit by kindness and guided by care.
Let’s Begin with Why
Our community isn’t just about tools and techniques. It’s about shared moments: a creative breakthrough, a tip passed on, a story that sparks something inside. In order to keep this place open, affirming, and inspiring for all who visit and contribute, we ask that you read and remember these guidelines. They are gentle in spirit but firm in purpose—to ensure that LWMF Crafts remains a safe, inclusive, and truly creative environment.
Our Shared Commitments
These are the roots of our garden, the threads in our tapestry. When you join a discussion or contribute your work, you agree to walk in step with:
- Kindness: Speak with care. Encourage generously. Assume someone means well, and reply in that light.
- Honesty: Share experiences and creations that are authentically yours. When you’re inspired by someone else, say so.
- Respect: Disagreeing doesn’t have to be divisive. Different paths can still lead to beautiful art. Honor all voices, especially those quieter than yours.
- Safety: Make space for everyone. Harassment, hate speech, and inappropriate content will never belong inside our walls.
- Clarity: Keep your language inclusive, accessible, and free from assumptions. Our audience spans across ages, cultures, and creative stages. Speak to welcome, not to exclude.
How We Interact
Commenting on someone’s sculpture reinterpretation of time? Stitching into a thread about textured thresholds in fiber art? Or maybe offering guidance based on your own face-painted afternoon with a toddler? Be specific and generous. Good words plant good seeds. If your creativity touches on areas we’ve spotlighted—like Creative Buzz or DIY Art Material Hacks—link there directly so others may follow your trail of inspiration.
No Place for Harm
The internet isn’t always gentle. But we are. This community will not tolerate:
- Any slurs, offensive language, or derogatory references
- Personal attacks, bullying, or intimidation
- Spam, clickbait, irrelevant links, sales pitches or scams
- Trolling or deliberately disruptive behavior
- Plagiarism or presenting others’ work as your own
If you see behavior that contradicts these standards, please contact us or email [email protected]. Our moderation team responds thoughtfully and confidentially, because all creativity—just like all care—begins with trust.
Moderation as Care
Our moderation team is made up of real people who believe in the magic of shared expression. When content must be removed, or a message needs redirection, we do so gently, and only where necessary. We’re not here to dampen creativity—we’re here to protect its light. Like a good editor or a careful shepherd, we move quietly toward harmony, so the making can continue without fear.
Stitching Credit into the Fabric
We honor makers. Which means we honor attribution. If you post an idea, an image, or advice that came from someone else or from our published content, please link to it. This could mean crediting a fiberscape from Artisan Project Spotlights, or referencing paint medium tips from Creative Buzz. Acknowledge, link, uplift—that’s the rhythm of good collaboration.

Protecting Your Privacy
Your data deserves as much care as your art. Never post personal phone numbers, addresses, or identification in comment areas or public spaces. Want to know how we steward your information? Dive into our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms of Service. We’ve written them with clarity in mind, without technical clutter or confusing hedges.
Where Creativity Connects
Want to immerse yourself fully? Begin with the homepage, or drift gracefully into projects through Drive Source or Specialty Reads. Peruse stories of making, moments of breakthrough, lessons from shared tables, and calls to act from our Empowering Positive Change portal. Our culture is one of continual exchange, where contemporary makers stitch old traditions into something freshly bold.
And just in case you’re wondering who stewards all this spirit—our Team Creative is here to welcome your voice. You belong here, brushstroke by brushstroke, idea by idea.
In the Light of the Founder
Zayric Xenvale began LWMF Crafts not as a gallery or a storefront, but as a vision for creative safety—for giving people a place to make, to share, and to feel seen in doing so. From table-top watercolors to wide-scale installations, Zayric believes that what we craft with our hands shapes how we live with our hearts. Their leadership weaves every part of this space—native soil for resilient, radiant ideas.

In Closing
This space isn’t just stitched from banners and blog posts. It’s shaped by you—with each shared story, each careful comment, and every moment of insight passed from one maker to another.
