Crafty business owners that embody the DIY spirit and whose business focus blends well with our current members. No business yet? No problem...we will also consider crafty people in the process of starting their own business.

You will become part of a supportive community of like minded people and tap into a collective resource of information on business issues and with craft mediums. The Richmond Craft Mafia also provides a venue to explore new craft mediums, introduce new products and promote your business to a broader range of customers, not to mention the camaraderie that comes from associating with people that truly understand craft addiction! Collective advertising, collective entrance to craft shows and a possible storefront here on the Richmond Craft Mafia site... the possibilities are endless!

There is at minimum a $50 fee for joining. This fee will cover legal stuffs, web hosting costs and go towards other Mafia expenses. All subsequent expenses for the Richmond Craft Mafia will be divided equally among participating members. The Richmond Craft Mafia meets once per month and participation in our online forum is required.

Then you have to be willing to go ol' school. Copy and paste the following questions (and answers) in an email and send to made@richmondcraftmafia.com. We will be reviewing applications for membership again in May 2008 (application deadline April 30th). If you have applied previously and are still interested, we do ask that you resubmit an application.
