| Introduction | The first Craft Mafia™ was founded in 2003 by nine crafty businesswomen in Austin, TX. The group originally came together through a shared love for craft, DIY ethics and mutual respect. As the Craft Mafia™ developed it became a forum for networking, promotion and shared ideas. Since it's development in Austin, other Mafias have popped up across the globe. Founded in October of 2008, Indy is the newest member of the family. The Craft Mafia™ is an organization of independent business owners who represent multiple creative disciplines in fashion, jewelry, handmade goods, fine art, writing and craft design. The Craft Mafia™ serves as a model for independent business owners to assemble with other entrepreneurs in their own communities to amplify their individual vision through the power of a collective. The Craft Mafia™ offers resources for small businesses through their website, books and television. The Craft Mafia™ website represents and links to all affiliated groups that have adopted the Craft Mafia™ name. |
