This self-taught baker and decorator extraordinaire, based in Columbus, Ohio, got their start in an apple-adorned family kitchen of his youth. In his words “I had a dream that one day I would be a star. And now, with a little help from my stand mixer, piping bags, and support system, there’s nothing that will get in my way.” Welcome Alex Copeland we can’t wait to get decorating!

Craftcation is April 8th -12th in beautiful beach side Ventura, CA. Comment TICKET to register now or TOUR to see what the magical 5 days is all about.

At Craftcation, we talk a lot about creativity, courage, and community. Jill Bates-Moore embodied all three—and then some.

This new scholarship in her name is our way of carrying her spark forward: making sure more Black women creatives get to experience Craftcation, connect with their people, and feel the magic Jill shared so freely.

Starting in 2026, the Jill Bates-Moore Scholarship will provide one Black woman creative with full Craftcation registration—200+ workshops, business classes, and community by the beach in Ventura, CA.

💛 Here’s to Jill, and to the future makers who will walk through the Craftcation doors because of her.

For info and the application go to https://bit.ly/JillsLegacy or send us a DM.

Picture it… launch day.

You’ve worked your butt off, lined up the posts, crossed your fingers for the algorithm gods… and nada. Crickets.

I’ve been there too. Which is why I stopped betting everything on social media and leaned into email. Email actually shows up. It’s steady, it’s yours, and it works.

That’s what my workshop Emails Over Algorithms is all about—helping creatives take back control, grow lists that feel good (not spammy), and write newsletters people want to read.

📅 Wednesday, September 10 at 10am PT
📍 Online, live with me
✨ Drop EmailLove in the comments and I’ll send you the RSVP link.

At Craftcation, you’re not the oddball with too many scissors or an obsession with yarn—you’re home. 💛

For 5 days every April in Ventura, CA, hundreds of creative weirdos (like you!) come together for hands-on workshops, business classes, and the kind of community that just gets it.

🎟️ Early bird tickets are on sale now!
