The Crafts Industry--links to
business and marketing articles and history of the industry.

Welcome!

 Art & Craft Sellers, Craft & Needlework Designers,
Teachers, Writers & Others in Creative Industries

Thanks for visiting this area of my website. All of the crafts business and marketing articles that used to be in this department have either been permanently removed or updated and moved over to my Handmade for Profit blog, which was especially designed for readers of my various crafts business/marketing books and others with an interest or involvement in the Arts & Crafts Industry.

2010 UPDATE: When I launched this blog site in early 2009, I had planned to publish a huge archive of my best and still timely crafts business articles and columns from earlier years. But my life and writing interests have changed considerably in the past year, and I'm no longer able to devote much time to this blog site, preferring instead to focus on the writing and publication of new non-business books. (Information about my newest book, a very personal memoir, will be found here.)

Although I may rarely post to my crafts blog for the next few months, the site's current content offers many interesting and helpful articles on a variety of topics related to arts, crafts, and other creative pursuits. To be notified when new content has been added, you are invited to join the site's mailing list.
