We are happy to announce that ETC has moved to an open and all-inclusive form of membership. Sellers in the Central Ohio area may join with a simple request emailed to manzanillaross@yahoo.com Our only requirement is that you remit a $10 annual fee at time of inception and each June thereafter. Our paypal address to remit dues is columbuscraftacular@gmail.com

Please include your name, email address and shop name in the transaction.

We hope this change will allow our wonderful creative community to feel more cohesive and welcoming. Once you've signed on, it is entirely up to YOU how involved (or not) you choose to be. We look forward to getting to know you and participating in various projects and friendship-building activities, yet we also acknowledge each of us has other demands and responsibilities outside of the "fun" we enjoy creating together (including growing those etsy shops). The benefits of membership are many, especially trading tips about running our businesses, cross-promoting one another, gaining feedback from creative peers, sharing information on local art/craft shows, planning collaborative projects, receiving special discounts and invitations designed with our group in mind and so much more!

ETC has now been around for 4 years. In that time we have been awarded 4 seperate grants from ETSY.com. Our members have exhibited, sold or participated in a wide variety of local events such as Agora, Comfest, The Eco Chic Craftacular, Craftin Outlaws, Independents Day, Tiny Canary, Urban Scrawl, Hit & Run Happy Hour, and too many others to name.

It is our pleasure to say we have worked with many local indie creative groups, galleries, studios, businesses and charities/causes. We try to foster a supportive, informative and friendly atmosphere. Our goal is to continue to stretch our creative wings, to respect ourselves more highly as artists, to support our peers, and to find ways to become more eco-friendly in the process.

Many thanks and well wishes!

ETC's meetings are usually open only to existing members. Meeting info is announced in our Private Member Facebook group.

We do, however, open our studio to potentially interested members for occasional Monday eve craft nights. These are held in our studio home at 400 West Rich Street in Columbus Ohio. If you are interested in attending one of these gatherings, please contact us for further details at manzanillaross@yahoo.com

Other meetup information may be found on our team's Facebook FAN PAGE (seperate from our membership group). We hope you will "like" us there in order to receive up to the minute news and information!
