Artisan ice cream making. Beachside yoga. Networking. Beer and croquet. A chance to learn all about starting and/or growing a small business…or an opportunity to just “hang out by the beach and make stuff”.
It’s all going to be a part of Craftcation 2013.
This is a combination small-business and crafts conference, and the brainchild of Patchwork Indie Arts and Crafts Festival co-founders Nicole Stevenson and Delilah Snell.
2013 is their second year of Craftcation, which is the first conference of its type in Southern California. This year’s four-day Craftcation Business and DIY Conference happens in Ventura, from Thursday, March 21 through Sunday, March 24th.
So far, according to Craftcation’s website, the “crafting” workshops will include such topics as knitting, jewelrymaking and felting. The small-business sessions will cover such areas as pricing, legalities and booth design for craft fairs. And the social aspects of the conference will feature a barbecue, a “Ventura food tour” and an ’80s dance party!
But–if you’d like to go, don’t procrastinate. The deadline for registration is March 1.
