Want to join the Chicago Craft Mafia?
The Chicago Craft Mafia is looking for a few new members. You might just have what it takes.
As part of the Mafia, you can affect Chicago culture by promoting handcrafted goods, educating communities about the importance of artisan commerce, and helping new crafters take their hobbies and businesses to the next level. Members benefit from increased media exposure, national networking opportunities and a support system of like-minded individuals.
Our Mission:
The Chicago Craft Mafia is a collaborative and non-competitive organization of independent crafting business owners. We work together to both foster our own individual entrepreneurship and support the greater crafting community. Members of the familia pride ourselves on the design, integrity and workmanship of our products and the ethics of our business practices.
Our goal is to increase these businesses retail and/or wholesale exposure, by abiding by a DIY code of ethics.
The Chicago Craft Mafia is a local chapter of the national Craft Mafia.
