The St. Louis Craft Mafia is an indie craft collective of local artists and crafters who strive to combine high design, graphic/fine arts and a punk DIY aesthetic in all their work. Their motto, *all handmade, all the time* results in unusual art no one can resist.

Where can you find punk baby, monster plush and pet gear all in one place?

On August 9, the St. Louis Craft Mafia will offer up an eclectic mix of handmade goods and artwork at CraftaNostra. Here, Craft Mafia members will silently lash out against the commercialized corporate world of strip malls and cookie cutter gifts by showing their love of DIY goods. Twenty-five plus St. Louis Craft Mafia members will feature their work, including jewelry, plush, original artwork, clothing, women's accessories, sassy household items, baby gear and pet collars, all in a handmade paradise at CooperElla Café & Boutique. While DJ Rabbitt spins great tracks the entire evening, enjoy sandwiches, desserts and drinks at the Café while you browse the handmade goodness by some the most creative artists and crafters in town.
