“I wish someone had taught me this sooner.” — you, probably, right now.

Craftcation Conference is officially accepting presenter interest for Spring 2027 in Ventura, CA — and we are looking for creative leaders, makers, and business minds who are ready to step into their era as a presenter.
Hands-on craft workshops. Creative entrepreneurship. Art & design. If it lives in the creative space, we want to hear from you.
The rooms are already full of people rooting for you. All you have to do is submit.
Comment PRESENTER and we will DM you the link to apply.
⏰ Deadline: September 7, 2026

POV: You signed up for a craft conference. You did

POV: You signed up for a craft conference. You did not sign up for your entire life being changed by a goodie bag and a stranger named Karen from California who is now your soulful pen pal.
And yet. HERE WE ARE.

Every year the Craftcation sponsors wow us with generosity and every year we are shocked even though we should not be, because they do this EVERY TIME. Full size. Real product. Useful tools and supplies that go directly into your creative practice the second you get home. Well sometimes not the second but maybe the second week, the come down is real #iykyk.

And then on top of that you leave with a brain full of strategy, a notebook full of ideas, a phone full of new contacts, and at least one friendship that started over shared snacks during a workshop break and will absolutely last the rest of your life.

You came with one bag. You’re going home with three and a found community. This is fine. This is great. We’re all crying in the airport.

There is a sad truth we have to share... Craftcat

There is a sad truth we have to share...

Craftcation 2026 is over, we are all returning to our homes, businesses and the people in our lives. It’s hard to stand in line at the grocery store and not see all the smiles and faces lit up with creative light, but come closer we have a secret...

You are that light, keep shining bright you creative Craftcationer and we will see you next year.

#craftcation #craftcation2026

Well. We did it again. Craftcation 2026 is a wrap

Well. We did it again.
Craftcation 2026 is a wrap (literally wrapped and palletized) and honestly? We are not okay.

Every single year we think — how could this get any better? And every single year you absolute LEGENDS show up and prove us wrong in the most beautiful, pattern-covered, stickers-for-days way possible.

To our attendees: You came as your weird, wonderful, creative selves and that is the whole entire point. You are not a cult. You are a community. A slightly obsessive, deeply loving, extraordinarily talented community — and we are so proud to call you ours.

To our sponsors: You believed in what we continue to bring to Ventura and we do not take that lightly. Thank you for making the magic possible behind the scenes. @kellofaplan @granthousesewingcenter @ftc.creative @jesmonite_ltd @eufymake @avery

To our volunteers: Honey. HONEY. You gave your time, your energy, and your sparkle and we will never forget it.

To our crew: You could have had a normal job. You chose THIS. We see you, we love you, we owe you a very long nap.
Craftcation 2026 — you are stuck in our mental if not physical scrapbook, forever.
BUT WAIT. Before you finish ugly crying —
CC27 is coming to Ventura, CA and early bird registration info drops to our email list FIRST. You want to be on that list. Trust us.
🔗 Link in bio or comment CCList — sign up, we’ll take it from here.

Where our sponsors bring us tools and supplies that have us making a wishlist and presenters unlocking a new fixation for our creative social prescriptions.

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.
