“We are very excited to welcome the Craft & Hobby Association to our Common Good Program. This partnership will serve both communities by empowering artisans to expand their business potential to become serious entrepreneurs using the combined tools and informational materials from CHA and ArtFire.com.”
ArtFire started the common good program to partner with different arts and craft suppliers to bridge the gap between where artisans purchase their art supplies and where they sell their finished art product. ArtFire is welcoming the Craft & Hobby Association as a resource for supply sellers to their Common Good Program, which currently consists of Delphi Glass, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, Fabric.com, and Lion Brand Yarn.
