Do you have to dress for Craftcation?

NO but it is celebrated here, so kick that inner critic in the bootie with some great cowboy boots and get ready for Dolly’s Desert Disco!

Check out the attendee hub for links to the mood board and other great information. If you aren’t an attendee yet comment TOUR to see what it’s all about or TICKET if you are ready for five life altering days with us crafting, creating and cooperating.

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.
What will you come for?

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 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!

Missed Craftcation but still want a taste of the magic? ✨

We saved a few Craftcation gift bags—and we’re giving them away! Each bag is packed with goodies from our amazing sponsors, and we’re randomly picking a few folks to receive one. I may be biased but I think these are cutest bags ever thanks to our gift bag sponsor @rolanddga who printed our first full-color bags featuring my art!

To enter:
👇 Leave a comment tagging a friend you’d love to bring to Craftcation next year!

That’s it! Winners will be randomly selected and contacted via DM to get their shipping info.

🛍️ Open to U.S. residents only. No purchase necessary. This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed, or associated with Instagram in any way.

Big thanks to our incredible sponsors for filling these bags with creative treats!
