About

The Burlington Craft Mafia
was formed in October 2006 when Erinn and Kacey got together and agreed that they were ready for a craft revolution. As the owners of urban farmgirl and Subsixstudios respectively, they felt ready to lead the way to handmade heaven in the green mountains.

The Burlington Craft Mafia consists of 9 members offering up a unique mix of experience and talent. We produce high quality handmade goods giving people an alternative to buying mass produced products. Keep up with our events page to find out where we will be next. Our Mission is to unite independent crafters, artists and designers in the Queen City to promote the indie DIY movement, the entrepreneurial spirit, and each other.

History of the Craft Mafia

The first Craft Mafia™ was founded in 2003 by nine crafty buisness women in Austin, TX. The group originally came together through a shared love for craft, DIY ethics and mutual respect. As the Craft Mafia developed it became a forum for networking, promotion and shared ideas. Since it's development in Austin, almost 50 other Mafias have popped up accross the globe.

The Craft Mafia™ is an organization of independent business owners who represent multiple creative disciplines in fashion, jewelry, handmade goods, fine art, writing and craft design. The Craft Mafia™ serves as a model for independent business owners to assemble with other entrepreneurs in their own communities to amplify their individual vision through the power of a collective.
