Representatives of four major craft families gathered to discuss business in the summer of 2005. There was much to talk about. The powers that be had made things difficult for organized craft in Richmond, Virginia. A lack of networking outlets for independent business owners and a public under the spell of mass production led these four to forge a partnership. They would become known as the Richmond Craft Mafia...

Inspired by our Austin namesake, the Richmond Craft Mafia is a supportive community of like minded artists. We provide information as well as promotional and marketing opportunities for independent crafty business owners.

Join us in "rubbin’ out the mass produced."
