Have you ever heard of Salugenology? I hadn’t ei

Have you ever heard of Salugenology? I hadn’t either until I began the always introspective drive home from Craftcation last year.

The TLDR is it’s the study of why humans REQUIRE hobbies and don’t forget movement. We get to check off two of those boxes (and more) with today’s presenter. Welcome back Vanina the energetic power house that had attendees grooving in Zumba and making their voices heard with fiber arts. We can’t wait to dance with you again and see what wonders our attendees make with fiber and threads.

P.S. If you want to know more about Salugenology there is a podcast about it on Ologies. It’s you social prescription for this week.

P.P.S. If you are ready to join us comment TICKET to get registered or TOUR if you need more information.

Most of us have thoughts on math. Some love it some hate it, but one thing is for sure...

All those elementary and middle grade teachers who told you not to use your calculator because you won’t always have one on you were wrong. So instead of counting on our fingers or figuring out the nine times whatever number, let’s use our hands to learn a new hobby, play in the creative world of scrapbooking or plannering and get comfortable in our individual crafty weirdness. There is something for every type of crafter at Craftcation along with wellness and community activities that will keep you going throughout the weekend.

Join us comment TOUR to check it out.

At Craftcation you are not only surrounded by creative folks just looking for some crafty time but also industry leaders in the creative marketplace. Here studio owners are learning new embroidery stitches next to a retired nurse who just wanted a crafty vacation. All levels and experience are welcomed, just like we welcome this presenter Shagane Barsegian of the Folk Lounge to Craftcation 2026. Check out her innovative and timeless workshops at this year’s Craftcation.
