Just wondering if anyone else has people in their family who make Judaica.

I do, my Grand-Uncle makes jewlery and other metal things: His Website
and my Grandmother has painted some Jewish based paintings: Her Website

Not in my family, but in my circle of friends, yes. I've got a friend who's into two things: fiber arts, and Judaism. If it can be spun, woven, knitted, crocheted, sewn, or in any other way has to do with thread or cloth, this friend enjoys working with it and talking about it, and turning it into Judaic art or functional pieces. She's grown her own fiber plants (like flax and cotton), spun the fibers into yarn or thread, woven it into cloth, and sewn the cloth into a finished product. She makes wall art, kippot, tallitot, kittels, wedding attire.

I've also got a friend who loves fimo, and likes to make it into Jewish-themed jewellery and sometimes statuettes.

And, of course, loads of friends who write poetry or prose with Jewish themes.

I like making pottery, myself. You probably wouldn't be able to tell it apart from any other pottery objects, but when I make a plate, it's either blue for dairy, red for meat, green for parve, or purple for Passover. When I make one candlestick, I make two, and I use them for Shabbat lights. If I'm making a goblet, you can bet that I'll be making kiddush with it, and there might also be a matching spice box or candle holder for making havdalah.

Thats really cool. I remember making some cool candlestick holders in the Jewish pre-school I was in xD
We used them so much until the damn earthquake caused them to fall and break emo
