Craftcation Inspirational Schedules

+ Workshop Planning Worksheets Book

1

Hello Craftcation 2017 Attendees!

Trying to pick your schedule of workshops for Craftcation 2017 and don’t know where to start or are feeling overwhelmed by all the choices? We know the feeling!

Our friends at Academy of Handmade have gone through the schedule and created some inspirational schedules depending on what you’re coming to Craftcation for and where you are in your business and creativity.

Keep in mind that these are only suggestions to inspire you and with NINE workshop choices in most time blocks, there are likely other workshops that would be a good fit as well. Remember to make time for yourself, the beach and spontaneous hanging out as well as parties, events and activities including: morning and evening yoga, 10-minute morning stretches, Crafty Fun Run, lunches, dinner, introvert’s evening crafting, happy hour, dance party, Sunday brunch and the ever-popular self-guided artwalk, Wanderings.

You can view the entire Craftcation schedule HERE (just click on a workshop title in the schedule on our website to see the description).

The last pages are workshop planning worksheets to help you create your schedule.

*Note: All the workshops without a * before the title are walk-in for Craftcation attendees and the workshops with a * have limited space and require you to pre-register for them on March 24 at 9:00am PST. More info about this on our Craftcation Attendee News Page HERE.
