NAME: EtsyHempsters
REGION: Global
ETSY SHOP: Coming Soon!
PROFILE: EtsyHempsters is a group of independent artists using hemp. We are a
non-juried group that is open to everyone who uses hemp in their hand made
Etsy listings. A 'leadership committee' oversees membership, team events, and
group's links, but we take member suggestions and majority rule in supporting
and promoting the team. We want to create a supportive learning and sharing
environment for all members despite associations or skill levels. Members are
encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, although the direction
and look of the group should reflect the passion and participation of it's
members.
Our GOALS are:
* Strive for half our listings to include hemp
* To educate and learn about industrial hemp
* To share information and knowledge gained from outside the group and
contribute to the Etsy community
* To participate in regular discussions on our yahoogroup and monthly
online chats
