About Me |
|
| Leeds Craft Mafia was founded in Autumn 2006 when Michelle Duxbury-Townsley got together a group of crafty ladies who are dedicated to spreading the word of the crafting revolution and DIY ethos across the fair city of Leeds. Our Members Michelle Duxbury-Townsley - prettycraftythings / your asinine heart Karen Dennis - Ketchup Lizzie Harrison - proto clothing / 25 spaces Alex Lavigueur - handmade Becky Wignell - Swank Kimberley Withington - Filthy Squirrel Dawn Wood - Ages of Elegance Claire and Kerry - Five Red Bats Our Mission We aim to unite and promote local independent, DIY crafty businesses by providing a strong support network sharing resources, information, experience and expertise and opportunities to showcase their wares. We also hope to raise awareness and understanding of the DIY ethos and encourage a new generation of renegade crafters to learn and develop their crafty skills with events and workshops. Visit our website for all the latest news! About the Craft Mafia The first Craft Mafia was founded in 2003 by nine crafty business women in Austin, Texas. 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, other Mafias have popped up accross the globe. We are very proud to be the first UK based craft mafia!!
