If glitter had a support group, it would be Craftc If glitter had a support group, it would be Craftcation. Welcome to that magical place where you show up thinking you’re “just taking a workshop”… and leave with 17 new best friends, a half-finished weaving, three business ideas, and someone texting you “did you get home safe??” This isn’t just a conference. It’s a beautifully weird, wildly supportive, slightly sleep-deprived creative vortex in Ventura—right by the beach, where your inner artist gets a tan and your inner critic gets politely asked to leave. You’ll: 🧵 Make things with your hands (fiber, ink, dye, dreams… all of it) @pfaffsewing @husqvarnaviking @olisohome 💡 Learn how to turn your ideas into actual money (we love a practical queen) 👯‍♀️ Find your people—the ones who get it when you say “I stayed up until 2am because I had to finish this” 🌊 And remember what it feels like to be lit up from the inside out It’s like summer camp… if summer camp helped you build a creative business and finally feel like you belong. And listen—this part matters: The magic doesn’t start when you arrive. It starts the moment you say yes. 💌 Slide into our email list and be the first to know when tickets drop, workshops get announced, and all the behind-the-scenes goodness we don’t share on social. Because the only thing worse than missing Craftcation… is hearing your new creative soulmate say, “Wait, you didn’t come?!” 👉 Get on the list. Your future creative self is already packing. @granthousesewingcenter @eufymake @kellofaplan @jesmonite_ltd @ftc.creative #Craftcation #craftcation26

We hear you and we are too! Craftcation just might We hear you and we are too! Craftcation just might be the rest and recharge looking for... How many times have you gotten excited about a creative project? How many times have you lost steam before the end? Do new ideas seem to pop up while you are doing the thing you NEED to do but have already lost the excitement for? I don’t have that many hands to raise up but we have all been to burn out land, but we don’t have to, we can forge a better way learning from the best in our creative fields. At Craftcation you can learn with creatives like you and build a community so you are all stronger together. We don’t only focus on building your creative business but the whole person with wellness activities, after hours creative experiences and workshops that help build systems not overwhelm. Will you join us?
