Join our Guild and find your place in the world of professional crafting. We know how hard your work. We know how many hours you put in. We know that most things you try probably don’t work at first. We know that you often work alone for long periods of time or in noisy places with children/family around which make it hard. ● We know that you just need a bit of help, support and recognition for your business. ● ● ● ●
Join us today and become a valuable member of the PCG Community.
www.procraftersguild.com/apply.html “I have always been proud to say that I am a member of the PCG. Being a member of the Professional Crafters Guild suddenly gave me prestige and credibility. “ “I don’t always get it right, but I know where to go now when I DON’T know something (or when I get it totally wrong). The webinars, information sheets, advice, associate member deals and just having access to social media and marketing experts to run things by before making a colossal error has really changed how I do business. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone trying to start a business from their crafting hobby.”

Welcome to the November 2015 Edition of the Professional Crafters Guild Directory
A welcome letter towards the end of a publication? Why not! Join us at the Guild for the free fall to Christmas! Each month we will bring to you a selection of our members with information about their businesses and interactive links to their websites. Many of our members also win awards and gain other achievements so you will also be able to read about these. Last but not least we will showcase creations from some of our registered businesses. Don’t forget to visit our main website www.procraftersguild.com where you can find over 700 creative businesses.
This year, the Professional Crafters Guild is getting involved with Small Business Saturday on the 5th December.
