If you’ve been watching Craftcation from afar thin If you’ve been watching Craftcation from afar thinking, “I don’t know anyone,” “Am I crafty enough?” or “Is it weird to come alone?”—this one’s for you.

We talked to some Craftcation first-timers about what it was like to take the leap and come for the first time.

Spoiler: they loved it.

They left with new skills, new friends and that magical feeling of finding people who get you.

We hear “I wish I had come sooner” ALL. THE. TIME.

So come nervous. Come alone. Come not knowing what to expect. Just come.

“Thank you for being a....” Even when everyone the “Thank you for being a....”
Even when everyone there loves crafting as much as you do, the walk into a room full of new people can bring out the shy in the most confident of Craftcationer.

That’s why the Buddy Program was built. We match you with a fellow attendee before you even arrive. Based on craft interests, location, goals, and personality (or you can let chaos pick for you, we don’t judge).

First-timers get paired with an alumni whenever possible, but this isn’t just for new attendees! No matter how many Craftcations you have been to, sign up and make a new connection.

Community Meetups are attendee-led gatherings desi Community Meetups are attendee-led gatherings designed to help people connect outside of workshops and create smaller pockets of community within the larger Craftcation experience.

Want to organize a meetup for introverts? True crime lovers? Early morning beach walks? Neurodivergent creatives? Sticker collectors? Quiet crafting? People who just really love tacos? Go for it.

You don’t have to wait for Craftcation to roll aro You don’t have to wait for Craftcation to roll around to get crafty!

Our team has been getting together, going on field-trips or just outings around town. This was our outing to The Hospital of Emotions, with highlights of some of our favorite rooms. But you don’t have to wait to hang with us in March.

You can organize a hang out too, check out our Neighborhood Hangouts, quarterly dates (times up to the host) all over the place hosted by a Craftcation attendee and posted about on our website and socials. We gather the RSVP’s so the hosts know what to expect and you get a creative recharge. These quarterly hangouts don’t have to require admission or a fancy setting, backyards, cafes or parks are all welcome. Become a host wherever you are, and don’t worry if you are the only Craftcation’er in your county, crafty neighbors who haven’t been to Craftcation are welcome! Host form can be found in our link tree.
