Abstract: A significant number of professionals produce crafts in the United States. But they often have difficulty realizing maximum return for their production. Craft cooperatives, guilds, or informal organizations have been of major importance in solving marketing problems faced by craftspeople. This publication gives a brief review of craft development in the United States, discusses the cooperative approach to solving craft marketing problems, and offers development guidelines for craft cooperatives. This publication is an update of several earlier versions on the subject.
