Denton-ite and fellow crafter Mandy Metts was convinced her own city needed something similar.  Living in Denton, Texas for 4 years, she realized how much talent there was in her town.  Since there already seemed to be so many outlets for painters and other artists, she wanted to create something that was solely for the people in her community who shared her passion for crafts.  Studying fibers and selling her handmade jewelry, she wanted to connect with the other craft artists near her.  The Denton Craft Mafia is now making that possible by being an open environment to learn, share, explore, connect, and create.  Check out the links on the left for information about each of the members, how to join, and many resources for every type of art and craft lover and maker.  </div> <div>
