    My experience with a crafts co-op in Maryland was not so good. They
    allowed two of each craft in, and with jewelry, it was myself and a
    family that bought in cheap jewelry settings and glued in paua shell
    inserts. Guess who sold the most? Make sure that the crafters you let
    in fit a general quality criteria before you let them in. If you have
    someone assembling rather than doing artistry, the artists will loose
    out to the assemblists.
