Craftcation is not something that can be explained Craftcation is not something that can be explained in two words but it’s also something that defies explanation. 

Many arrive alone and leave with a new community. There have been presenters from shows you loved crafting along side the 90+ year old inventor of embroidery frames, friends tell their other friends and soon there are groups planning their Craftcation adventure together. 

Some come for the recharge, other’s come to solidify their creative business ideas, all are welcome.

Think you know what a craft conference looks like? Think you know what a craft conference looks like? Think again.

Craftcation is where creativity gets messy, meaningful, and probably even a little life-changing.

It’s four days of craft & business workshops, inspiration, and real connection—with people who just get it.

Whether you’re building a creative business, rediscovering your creativity, or finally making space for the things that light you up—this is where it starts.

🎟️ Early bird registration for Craftcation 2026 opens July 1st.

When @textile_collections_ invited us to peruse th When @textile_collections_ invited us to peruse their downtown LA warehouse and choose fabric for the @craftcationconference sewing workshops, I hopped on the train and spent the afternoon oohing, ahhing, and treasure-hunting with @leannicorn. The best part? Watching our attendees transform those 100% cotton quilting fabric gems—straight from top designers and manufacturers—into clothing, accessories, and so much more. Thank you @textile_collections_ for inspiring and supporting our community!
