I am so stoked to be involved with the CraftCamp at SXSW Interactive next week! I was going to be there for my job anyway, but then I found out that Willo was organizing a craft-centric event, and I just had to be part of it. The schedule is still being finalized, but here’s an overview of the things that’ll be going on:
- Etsy shop tuneups
- Sessions on how to design and print fabric, be more productive, price your work and get more publicity
- Advice on getting capital for your business and dealing with taxes
- A panel discussion on what discount sites mean for the handmade community
- And happy hours with free beer each day!
We’ll be getting crafty on Sunday, March 11, and Monday, March 12 in the Presentation Tent of Palm Park. You can add it to your Facebook calendar here. I hope if you’re already coming to SXSW you’ll stop by and check out CraftCamp! (FYI: If you haven’t already registered, badges are still available, but hotels in Austin are totally sold out.)
