Andrej Suskavcevic is at the heart of creativity.
“Heart” is the operative word here.
As President and CEO of the Craft and Hobby Association, Andrej sees his organization providing some major resources for arts entrepreneurs. But the education and innovation don’t end there.
Recently, the CHA launched cre8time.org, an online community for positive social change. Website visitors are encouraged to spend eight hours a month working at a craft they enjoy–and sharing their experiences online. The results are inspiring: year-round crafts (OK, I like the Christmas ones, but that’s just me!) complete with how-to instructions, videos and even a heads-up on which projects are messy!
At the CHA’s 2014 Winter Conference and Trade Show, Andrej talked about his own experiences with crafting, and some innovative new trends for artists (wait’ll you hear about the pen he describes!).
