CRAFT on Facebook

 

We have started a CRAFT Group on Facebook. On Facebook, the difference between a Page and a Group is partly that a Group can be set to private. Members must be approved when they join. Anything posted on the Group page is only visible to members of the Group.

 

We have had many complaints about the functionality of our website forums. While we are setting up a committee to work on a new website (any volunteers?), we thought that a Facebook Group would be an easy, quick way for our members to be able to interact and network, without the fear of their customers or the general public reading their posts.

CRAFT is a national organization of artists, retailers & show sponsors working to support American craft, save money, educate & network.
