There has been an enormous upsurge in craft industries where people are looking to supplement their income as a direct result of the global economic crisis.because of this craft has become a visible and growing alternative to mainstream retail options.

I would imagine that this is because shoppers have become selective about the quality of the items they buy and are also seeking out something which is different.

Apart from crafting at home to reduce the costs of having to buy retail, Home crafted items are attracting buyers from all spheres of society. The upsurge in visibility is an opportunity for all of us to take and it often requires a very small outlay to develop a new source of income.

It is therefore important that once deciding on your craft specialty you can find a way of marketing and exposing your product and your skill cost effectively and with repeat business.

We shall seek to help you find your niche, your market and break into your market, with low overheads and considerably rewarding returns.

So ladies (and visiting gents!) come along and join us and do what you love and make a bit from it too!
