Queen City Craft



A few months ago Erinn and I decided to close down the Burlington Craft Mafia. It was a tough decision for us but for various reasons it just didn't feel right any more. We are very proud of what the group accomplished in the 2 1/2 years we existed. Erinn and I have been talking about wanting to continue our mission of promoting indie craft in Vermont. This weekend a light bulb lit up in my head and Queen City Craft was born.

From our new blog:

Welcome to Queen City Craft. A place to spread the word about indie craft in Vermont.

Indie craft is about pushing the limits, finding your own line, reusing, recrafting, and creating. It is about offering an alternative.

Craft has taken on a whole new meaning over the past few years with the boom that has taken place across the country. With a punkier edge indie crafters are breaking the mold of traditional craft.

Vermont is our home. It is also home to many talented writers, artists and musicians. So far though we don't really fit into any of the existing creative groups. We hope to create a space where all indie crafters in Vermont feel welcome. We want to give us a voice, support, teach, and spread the word.

Join us.


Thanks to Sara (formerly of Made Boutique & Gallery) for letting us run with the name and passing on the logo for me to rework. We are so thankful for all the work Sara did in Burlington and we hope we can continue her mission. Sara is moving on to other adventures. We wish her the best of luck.

Good Luck Kacey!

This is a great idea. Hopefully my creative juices will once again flow...perhaps after the breast milk ceases to :-)
