The Ranger Ink booth at CHA - always packed! Welcome to the CraftyPod, a craft podcast all about making stuff. Click the âPlayâ button at the bottom of this post to listen! In this show: - An interview with Mike Hartnett, publisher of Creative Leisure News and veteran watcher of the craft supply industry. - Thoughts on where the craft industry has been, and where it's headed. - A fascinating look at the trends that have risen, fallen, and shaped the way we craft. - Discussion of how the emerging indie crafter community fits into all this. Links: - Be sure to check out Creative Leisure News - the archives are free, or you can sign up for a trial subscription. - This was the CHA and the Indies post here on CraftyPod that got this discussion started. - Mike mentioned the CPSIA in the interview. Modern June has an excellent roundup of CPSIA-related links. - Another piece of legislation affecting indie designers is the Orphan Works Act. There's a very nice breakdown at Public Knowledge. - We also talk some about the Craft & Hobby Association.
