She was on track for a career in biological resear She was on track for a career in biological research, molecular biology degree, bioethics the whole thang. Then as it so often does, art took over. 

Jenny Chang is a natural dye artist based in Overland Park, KS and she is one of those rare teachers who brings two completely different kinds of genius into the same room. The painter’s eye for color and composition. The scientist’s obsession with experimentation, process, and figuring out exactly why something works the way it does.

Check her out at canvasandjoy. Natural dye. Fiber arts. Creative science. A little bit of chaos. All of it at Craftcation 2027.
Drop a plant emoji if natural dye is on your 2027 creative bucket list — and get your registration started at the link in bio.

Some people walk into the room and the whole tempe Some people walk into the room and the whole temperature changes. Jill-Bate-Moore was that person.

Creativity, courage, community - she didn’t just talk about those things. She lived them out loud and she brought everyone around her along for the ride. That kind of person leaves a mark long after they’re gone. 

Started in 2026, the Jill Bates-Moore Scholarship gives one Black woman creative a full Craftcation registration - 200+ workshops, business classes and five days of community by the beach in Ventura, CA. Because Jill believed that this experience should reach further and we intend to carry it forward.

Craftcation is five days in Ventura, California where that feeling of belonging is threaded through everything we do. Workshops for every type of crafter, and every stage of creative business. Presenters who have built the thing you’re trying to build and a community of makers who will cheer you on.

You don’t have to explain why you cary craft supplies everywhere when you are here. Everyone already knows. If you know someone who’s been going solo for too long, share this with them. And if that someone is you registration and info is in the link in bio. Come we have a seat saved for you.
