buy craft; local – Supporters

We would like to acknowledge everyone working to support and develop the craft industry. Building any community or industry takes many different types of community members; from craft organizations, educational institutions, governments, volunteers, retailers, collectors and of course the hardworking craftspeople who share their love of making objects, for us to enjoy!
