Craftcation 2026

It’s hard to wear all the hats — even if they ARE vintage fuschia suede fedoras that make you feel like a kickass sassafras.

Learn how to recognize if it’s time to consider hiring help, best practices for recruiting & training, basic legal & financial requirements, and how to confidently step into a leadership role.

If you’re burning the small-batch hand-poured soy candle at both ends, I see you. Let’s make this next big adventure in your business super fun and rewarding.

Bring the colors of nature straight to your sketchbook! In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create their own watercolor paints using pigments sourced from plants and natural materials. Together we’ll prepare simple stock solutions and then use pre-extracted pigments to grind, mull, and bind our own watercolor paints. Each participant will leave with a small, handmade palette of natural colors to continue exploring at home. This workshop is a practical introduction to natural color-making—no science required, just curiosity and a love of color!
