Melody Claussen-Furry

It’s likely you’ve never heard of the Sacramento Craft Mafia, but that’s about to change. The group consists of craft-related business owners “who have united to encourage, support and promote each other.” The group’s secretary, Melody Claussen-Furry, provided SN&R with this week’s Playlist and these words: “If there is a theme, it’s creating. The songs picked relate to the theme in its many assemblages. Whether it’s creating a piece of art, a memory, an illusion, an identity or a safe place.” Visit www.sacramentocraftmafia.com for more information.
