Off to Craftcation – LaurenMakesItWork

Have you ever thought about selling at craft fairs or online but really wanted a friend or someone to help guide the way?

Craftcation is a long weekend in April every year (we shall not talk about '19-21 those were hard years for everyone) in Ventura, CA at the beach Marriot. It's part craft vacation and part business school.  The link below is the write up I did after my first trip there. It was amazing the motel 6 less so but it was my only option at the time.

I am heading back there this weekend, and while we are still in the midst of a global crisis we have the proper mitigation strategies in place for the local health authorities, and hope for the best. I am so grateful for the community the organizers and volunteers work so hard to make possible.

While I am SURE there will be differences and changes to this year’s experience, I am so excited to be back in the creative energy of the conference. From social media, business topics to how to use a Gelli plate the weekend has so many things to offer it’s attendees.

Where and what do you do to recharge your creative batteries?
