  • Craft Industry Alliance / Episode 31


    For today's podcast, I talk with Abby Glassenberg (while she naps) and Kristin Link (Sew Mama Sew) about their new collaboration, Craft Industry Alliance. We talk about how they came up with the idea for the organization, what they want to provide their members and why this is important to them both personally and professionally. This is not a sponsored post. I was curious about their trade organization and wanted to learn more. Even if you are not interested in joining, the discussion about their values and industry perspective is interesting and refreshing.
