The infamous Melbourne Craft Cartel Market – purveyors of subversive craft since 2007 have expanded their web of influence with the upcoming launch of the Craft Cartel Podcast.

Podcast co host Casey says “The Cartel is all about creating a new world based on freedom, sustainability and a deadly sense of humour, without waiting for ‘The Man’ to do it for us. It’s direct action in it’s purest form, we plan on highlighting the brilliant skills of our stall holders and bringing the craftivist visions from around the world into one online show.

The podcast can be accessed from here or through the iTunes Store (from Monday 17th March).

If in Melbourne head along to the Launch – at the next Cartel Market Monday 17 March, Section 8 Container Bar, Tattersalls Lane, Melbourne, approx 7pm.

Craft Con 2008, a business development conference for the craft community. This remarkable gathering of leaders and organizers in the evolving craft and design movement will be held in San Francisco April 4-6. Last year’s Craft Congress was the first event of its kind, bringing together an amazing group of craft promoters from all over the country and as far away as England to network, share ideas, and discuss the future of the resurging movement.

a game based on the children’s memory game – but a little more complex for adults. – from Hanne at heaven and earth.
